🌐 Introducing External Load Balancer: Build a High-Performance, Resilient CaaS Across Cloud Providers

In the quest for more resilient, cost-effective, and sovereign digital infrastructures, European companies are increasingly looking to build their own hybrid and multi-cloud environments — without relying entirely on hyperscalers.

To support this need, LayerOps is introducing a powerful new feature:
➡️ External Load Balancer

🧠 What is it?

The External Load Balancer lets users deploy and manage their load balancing functionality on a dedicated, private resource — typically a virtual machine or a bare-metal server with a public IP address.

It’s the equivalent of an external instance, but specifically designed for HTTP/3 load balancing.

This offers several key advantages:

  • ✅ Better compute performance
  • ✅ Higher bandwidth
  • ✅ Full control over the infrastructure

🛡️ Built-in failover, multi-cloud ready

In case your dedicated load balancer becomes unavailable, LayerOps automatically triggers a fallback mechanism:
A backup load balancer instance is deployed in real time on one of 8 compatible public cloud providers.

With this, you gain:

  • High availability
  • Redundancy across multiple providers
  • Seamless user experience, even during outages

🔧 Why this matters

With this capability, LayerOps allows you to create a Distributed CaaS (Container-as-a-Service) platform that is:

  • 💪 High-performance
  • 🌍 Multi-provider by design
  • 🔐 Sovereign and self-hosted
  • 💰 Optimized for cost and control

You can leverage your own infrastructure or preferred European providers for production, and use public cloud bursting only when needed — for peak loads or failover scenarios.

🚀 Build your own cloud — on your own terms

This new feature empowers organisations to build their own cloud platform with:

  • Cloud-native scalability
  • Reduced lock-in
  • Enhanced resilience
  • Infrastructure cost savings

All while staying aligned with European digital sovereignty goals.
