549 views Asked by At

I like to build a DNS server with AnyCast ip. try use the Google GCP to do the load balance.

But I find it only support TCP cross region load balance, why google not support cross region UDP load balance?

I like to Google AnyCast IP provide very fast response time at global level. buyvm.net also have the options but only work for EU and USA. Is there any other options ?

As per the GCP documentation[1], the scope of a network load balancer is regional, not global. This means that a network load balancer cannot span multiple regions. Within a single region, the load balancer services all zones.

This being said, Stack Overflow is used for technical questions and for any feature requests I would recommend creating a feature request in a public issue tracker[3].

Google’s Engineering team will review the feasibility of the feature request and will either implement or decline the feature with an explanation. There’s no ETA on how long a response to the feature request will take, hence you will need to monitor the link you create for updates.
