Hi

We have some experience on cluster configuration.

https://wiki.articatech.com/en/proxy-service/hacluster

As using Kubernetes for Squid and for 40K users is a very "risky adventure".

Squid requires a very high disk performance (I/O) which means both a good hard disk drive and a decent controller card.

You will reach a functional limit of kubernete which by structure is not adapted to this type of service

Of course you can continue in this way....

But we see this a lot from experience:

"To take on the load you're going to install a lot of instances on multiple virtualization servers.
Whereas 2 or 3 physical machines could handle it all."

Hi squid community,

I need to find most best and sustainable way to build a stable High Availability squid cluster/solution for abou 40k user.

Parameters: I need HA, caching(little objects only not like big windows updates), scaling(It is just secondly), and I want to use and modify(in production,in working hours) complex black- and whitelists

I have some idea:

1. A huge kubernetes cluster

pro: Easy to scale, change the config and update.

contra: I'm afraid of the network latency.(because of the most plus layers e.g. vm network stack, kubernetes network stack ith vxlan and etc.).

2. Simple VM-s with a HAProxy in tcp mode

pro: less network latency(I think)

contra: More time to Administration


Has anybody any experience with squid in kubernetes(or similar technology) with a large number of useres?

What do you think which is the most perfect solution or do you have other idea for the implementation?

Thanks!

Best, Szabolcs
