Comment on Introducing HTTP Load Balancing and SSD Persistent Disk

Comments

Exciting developments on the load balancing front. Is anyone able to decipher whether this can be used to load balance external (non-google) services? It looks like the input parameter is simply an external IP, but I haven't looked that closely yet.

It's routing traffic to a pool of Compute Engine instances: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/ht...

Could this be a huge problem for services like Cloudflare. I mean i would trust Google a lot more to be able to survive a huge DDOS.
