MaxScale Redundancy

MariaDB MaxScale serves as the load balancer in certain SkySQL topologies.

SkySQL supports MaxScale Redundancy as an option at time of launch:

  • This feature is not enabled by default. By default, topologies that use MaxScale contain only one MaxScale node.

  • When MaxScale Redundancy is selected, MaxScale nodes are deployed in a highly available (HA) active-active configuration behind round robin load balancing.

  • When MaxScale Redundancy is enabled, MaxScale instance size can be selected.

  • MaxScale Redundancy is available to Power Tier customers.
