Build highly available services with general availability of Regional Managed Instance Groups
Monday, December 5, 2016
Posted by Jerzy Foryciarz, Product Manager
Businesses choose to build applications on
Google Cloud Platform
(GCP) for our low-latency and
reliable global network
. As customers build applications that are increasingly business-critical, designing for high-availability is no longer optional. That’s why we’re pleased to announce the general availability of
Regional Managed Instance Groups
in
Google Compute Engine
.
With virtually no effort on the part of customers, this release offers a fully managed service for creating highly available applications: simply specify the region in which to run your application, and Compute Engine automatically balances your machines across independent zones within the region. Combined with
load balancing
and
autoscaling
of your machine instances, your applications scale up and down gracefully based on policies fully within your control.
Distributing your application instances across multiple zones is a best practice that protects against adverse events such as a bad application build, networking problems or a zonal outage. Together with
overprovisioning
the size of your managed instance group, these practices ensure high availability for your applications in the regions where you serve your users.
Customers have vetted regional managed instance groups during our alpha and beta periods, ranging from major consumer-facing brands like
Snap Inc.
and
Waze
, to popular services like
BreezoMeter
,
Carousell
and
InShorts
.
It’s easy to
get started
with regional managed instance groups. Or
let us know
if we can assist with architecting your most important applications with the reliability users expect from today’s best cloud apps.
