Question

Floating Private IP?

Posted August 21, 2019 1.6k views

Hello Everyone,

I wonder if it’s possible to have a floating private IP between multiple droplets? I will have around 6 droplets serving the same service and would like to check if I can have a private IP to have a transparent failover for the application (Master/Slaves design)

Hello, @ahmadt

You can surely configure a transparent failover for your application. I believe this is one of the main features of the Floating IPs. You can check the official documentation as well:

I hope this helps.

    Specifically, can you create floating PRIVATE IP’s? From what I have read/seen there is only an option to have a floating public IP which doesn’t work for our HA DB Solution.
