Weighted Round Robin (WRR) is a load balancing mode that assigns requests to backend ECS instances based on their weights. The higher the weight of the backend ECS instance, the higher the chance that the instance will receive requests. This mode can exploit the different service capacities of backend ECS instances by setting higher weights to ECS instances with higher capacities. For example, if there are two ECS instances in the backend server pool, one with a weight of 10 and the other with a weight of 20, the ECS instance with a weight of 20 will receive twice as many requests as the ECS instance with a weight of 10.

To meet the company’s security requirements, the following solutions should be used together:

A. Enable the VPN on the bastion host (or directly use the VPN image on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace). The administrator uses VPN encrypted communication during O&M. This solution can support secure remote O&M, because VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that creates a secure and encrypted connection over the Internet between the bastion host and the administrator’s device. VPN can protect the data transmitted between the bastion host and the administrator from being intercepted or tampered by malicious third parties1. Alibaba Cloud provides VPN Gateway service that allows users to create VPN connections between VPCs and on-premises data centers, or between VPCs in different regions2. Users can also use VPN images from Alibaba Cloud Marketplace, such as OpenVPN, to create VPN servers on ECS instances3.

B. Build an independent ECS instance as the bastion host or remote logon and O&M, and authorize the bastion host to access ECS instances running other subsystems. This solution can also support secure remote O&M, because a bastion host is a special-purpose ECS instance that acts as a proxy or a gateway for accessing other ECS instances in the VPC. A bastion host can enhance the security of the ECS instances by limiting the exposure of the ECS instances to the public network, and by implementing security policies and monitoring tools on the bastion host4. Alibaba Cloud provides Bastionhost service that allows users to centrally manage the access to cloud servers from external networks and provide secure connections to VPC resources5.

C. Use the security group function of the ECS instance, and respectively deploy ECS instances running different subsystems to independent security groups. This solution can isolate the networks between subsystems, because a security group is a virtual firewall that controls the inbound and outbound traffic of the ECS instances in the group. Users can configure security group rules to allow or deny access based on the network protocol, port, and source IP address. By deploying ECS instances running different subsystems to independent security groups, users can prevent unauthorized access or communication between the subsystems6.

The other solution is not suitable for the company’s scenario, for the following reason:

D. Create multiple ECS instances in the VPC to install subsystems of different departments- Allocate only Intranet IP addresses to all ECS instances, and deploy them in the same security groups. This solution cannot isolate the networks between subsystems, because ECS instances in the same security group can communicate with each other by default, regardless of whether they have intranet or internet IP addresses. Moreover, this solution may also prevent the ECS instances from accessing the internet or providing external services, which may affect the business operation of the company6.

 Alibaba Cloud CDN can record the real IP address of a visitor in the HTTP header field X-Forwarded-For, which can be obtained by the origin server or the user-defined log of Apache and Nginx. Alibaba Cloud CDN also provides a one-click function to enable the recording of the visitor’s real IP address in the console, which can be viewed in the access log. References:
