Overview

UCS distributes requests globally according to user locations and service policies across clouds and clusters, implementing intelligent traffic distribution and scheduling. It also schedules application access traffic across domains in real time on demand.

With Domain Name Service (DNS), user requests to the same domain name can be responded to by different backend clusters, according to the users' carrier and region. Such traffic splitting reduces the latency in cross-domain and cross-network access.

Prerequisites

  • To manage traffic, IAM users must have the DNS Administrator permissions.
  • You must have a public domain name. If you do not purchase a public domain name, purchase one.
  • Your public domain name has been licensed. If not, you need to apply for an ICP license using Huawei Cloud ICP License Service.
  • Your public domain name can be resolved. If you do not create a public zone, create one.

Procedure

Figure 2 shows the process of traffic distribution.
