Summary: eBay Inc. has one of the largest deployments of Openstack clouds and has been at the forefront of deploying
Openstack in several environments that include eBay MarketPlaces and PayPal production, development and
QA environments.
In this talk we present the challenges faced in scaling LBaaS to serve our massive muti-tenant cloud needs
and our architecture and solutions to address them. We will go through our topology, deployment patterns,
migration, feature implementations and enhancements to Openstack LBaaS.
Some of the areas we will discuss are listed below: - Multi-Region, Muti-VPC Deployment Architecture
- Migration Challenges (from legacy to LBaaS). Filling gaps. Challenges for hitless migration
- IP reusability and Floating IPs for VIPs

- Advanced health monitoring
- New Horizon LBaaS UI (demo)
- North-South and East-West Load Balancing
- Hardware LB device integration with LBaaS in overlay network (Also, deployment in SDN environment)
