Distribute traffic across S3-compatible storage clusters
Jetpath can distribute traffic across MinIO, Ceph, or other S3-compatible storage backends using standard L4/L7 load balancing:
Distribute requests across storage nodes based on capacity using weighted round-robin.
Keep multi-part uploads on the same backend with source IP persistence.
Route around unhealthy storage nodes automatically.
Configure Jetpath for a MinIO cluster:
{
"name": "minio-cluster",
"protocol": "tcp",
"listeners": [{"vip": "10.0.0.100", "port": 9000}],
"lb_policy": {"type": "weighted_round_robin"},
"persistence": {
"enabled": true,
"type": "source",
"timeout_sec": 3600
},
"destinations": [
{"id": "minio-1", "ip": "10.0.1.10", "port": 9000, "weight": 1},
{"id": "minio-2", "ip": "10.0.1.11", "port": 9000, "weight": 1},
{"id": "minio-3", "ip": "10.0.1.12", "port": 9000, "weight": 1},
{"id": "minio-4", "ip": "10.0.1.13", "port": 9000, "weight": 1}
]
}| Algorithm | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Round Robin | Equal distribution across identical storage nodes |
| Weighted Round Robin | Distribute based on node capacity |
| Least Connection | Route to node with fewest active connections |
| Source Persistence | Keep client sessions on same node for multi-part uploads |
