Phacility Cluster Network
Updated 3,194 Days AgoPublic

This document describes the network layout of the Phacility Cluster.

Overview

The Phacility cluster is deployed in an AWS VPC.

Most devices only accept connections from other devices within the cluster. Load balancers at the edge of the cluster accept external traffic and relay it to devices within the cluster, which may make additional service calls to other cluster services.

External Interfaces

These devices have external interfaces and accept requests from the public internet.

Network Layout

This is a general overview of device layout and traffic flow within the network.

For each type of request, traffic enters the network at the perimeter device in the left column, and is forwarded to the "Internal Device" to respond to the request. The internal device may also make requests to one or more devices from the "Service Devices" column to satisfy the request.
