Load balancer in SGP1

Posted on February 27, 2020

Hi,

I’d like to set-up a High Availability infrastructure to my organisations’ website. Our droplet is currently at SGP1. I’ve read a documentation that droplet should be in the same region in order to use a load balancer, does that mean I can’t use load balancing in SGP1?

Can you suggest steps I should do?

Thanks!

Hello! You’re right, the DigitalOcean Load Balancer must be deployed in the same region as your Droplet. You should be able to create the load balancer in SGP1 as well: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/platform/availability-matrix/
