floating IP
Hi,
I have noticed that Digital Ocean released floating IP's about a month ago. Will this be incorporated in the Cloudways Platform in the near future? This will be ideal for HA applications.
Thanks
Jean

Jean, we try as hard as we can not to add provider specific features in our platform. That would mean adding complexity and locking certain features to certain vendors, something we definitely don’t want (same happens with AWS, GCE …).
To create a certain level of high availability on top of our platform, you could use DNS Made Easy fail-over failure http://help.dnsmadeeasy.com/dns-failover/configure-dns-failover/ (you would need to get your own DNSMadeEasy account, as we don’t support failover via our add-on). In any case, the issue of database sync would remain.
In our road-map, we have working on a highly available and auto-scalable option for the platform as a high priority.

Additionally, it’s important to know that Bloxstrap is currently only compatible with Windows devices. Unfortunately, Mac, iOS, and Android users will have to wait for potential future updates that might bring compatibility to those platforms.
