Swift cluster-facing network for multi zone and multi region setup
Hi,
i'm planning my swift setup and i need some hints for networking. I've decided to use a dedicated network for communication between proxy server and storage nodes, but i do not completely understand what are the requirements.
in a single region with multiple zones, do i need that proxy can contact every storage node, indipendently from the zone where it is?
instead, in case of multiple region setup, i've understood that at least a proxy node in each region is required. Does the proxy node of a region need to contact storage node of other regions?
At the end of the configuration i'll have 2 regions, each one with at least 2 zones, but now i'm starting small with a single region.
