[Freeswitch-users] Docker or a traditional VM-based deployment?

Thu Aug 13 08:44:27 UTC 2020

Our big problems are:
- any container can run on any node, their ip must go with it.
- avoid NAT balancers for performance reasons (and another point of
failure that must to be clustered)

After a lot of testing, the selected option had pacemaker/corosync for
managing HA and macvlan for the network problem.

Our system is not full elastic but for our requirements is ok.

Best regards
