Notes
- This scheme implements weighted round-robin traffic routing at the top level. However, individual clients (e.g. servers) are likely to cache DNS results which will reduce the effectiveness that some clients experience in the event of a failure of the on-premises system (if they were routed to the on-premises system).
Open Questions
- Will the health check for example-nlb.xxx.cucloud.net fail when none of the backend EC2 instances are running? We want it to fail in that case, since we don't want any traffic to be sent there.
