Basic concept of load balancing

Load balancing (load balancing) is a computer network technology used to balance multiple computers (computer clusters), network connections, cpu, disks Distribute load among drives or other resources to optimize resource usage, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload.

Using multiple server components with load balancing instead of a single component can improve reliability through redundancy. Load balancing services are usually performed by specialized software and hardware.

One of the most important applications of load balancing is to use multiple servers to provide a single service. This solution is sometimes called a server farm. Usually, load balancing is mainly used in web websites, large internet relay chat networks, high-traffic file download websites, nntp (network news transfer protocol) services and dns services. Now load balancers also start to support database services, called database load balancers.

For Internet services, a load balancer is usually a software program that listens on an external port. Internet users can access the service through this port, and the software as a load balancer will forward the user's request. To the backend intranet server, the intranet server returns the requested response to the load balancer, and the load balancer then sends the response to the user. This hides the intranet structure from Internet users and prevents users from directly accessing the backend (intranet). Server, making the server more secure and preventing attacks on the core network stack and services running on other ports.

When all backend servers fail, some load balancers will provide some special functions to handle this situation. For example, forwarding requests to a backup load balancer, displaying a message about a service outage, etc. Load balancers allow IT teams to significantly increase fault tolerance. It automatically provides large amounts of capacity to handle any increase or decrease in application traffic.

0. Preliminary preparation

Use debian environment. Install nginx (default installation), a web project, install tomcat (default installation), etc.

1. An nginx.conf configuration file

 #所有静态文件直接读取硬盘
 root /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/jielierp/web-inf ;

 }
 }
}

Basically configure this file to achieve load. But it is more troublesome to understand the various relationships inside.

2. Basic explanation

Now suppose there is a computer 192.168.8.203, with tomcat deployed on it, and there is j2ee service on port 8080, through the browser You can browse the web normally. Now there is a problem. Tomcat is a relatively comprehensive web container. The processing of static web pages should be relatively resource intensive, especially the static pages must be read from the disk every time and then returned. This will consume tomcat resources and may affect the parsing performance of those dynamic pages. Adhering to the Linux philosophy, the principle that a software only does one thing. Tomcat should only handle jsp dynamic pages. Here we use nginx that we have learned before for reverse proxy. The first step is to act as a proxy to separate dynamic and static web pages. This is very simple.

Modify the nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. There is a configuration file by default. In fact, most of them are similar, the key is the setting of the server segment. Here I set the server segment as shown above, and just copy the other segments. The explanation in the server section is as follows: Line 35 listens to port 80 of the local machine. Lines 37-39 represent the default homepage. The default homepage here is index.jsp, which corresponds to an index in my project. Here you can change it to

index index.jsp index.html index.htm index.php

Please refer to other articles for details. The key line 40, this is regular matching, there are many introductions on the Internet. This matches all static web page suffixes used in my project. Line 41 is the proxy address. Here I proxy into my web application. expires 30d cache is 30 days. The cache here corresponds to the front-end page and the user's cache-control field.

The regular expression in line 44 is matching None suffix page. The jsp pages in my project have no suffix. This can be modified as needed. Also proxy to 192.168.8.203:8080. At this point you may be asking, holy shit, what’s the point of this? Of course this is not the case anymore. To simply implement static and dynamic separation, we can modify line 41 to

root  /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/jielierp/web-inf

, which means no proxy and is taken directly from the local disk. By checking the tomcat log, you can see that the static page is not accessed. But there is another problem. This kind of flexibility is not good, and it is not friendly to the memory cache and cluster deployment discussed below, so the following writing method is used. Write another server segment.

server{
 listen 808;
 server_name static;
 location / {
}
location ~ .*\.(js|css|ico|png|jpg|eot|svg|ttf|woff) {
 #所有静态文件直接读取硬盘
 root /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/jielierp/web-inf ;
 expires 30d; #缓存30天
 }
 }

This time, listen to port 808, and then modify the above code line 41 to proxy_pass http://192.168.8.203:808. At this point, the separation of dynamic and static is achieved. If there are multiple servers, just modify the corresponding IP. If you find that you cannot connect, you need to check the firewall, permissions and other external issues. This configuration is like this.

如果单纯这样的话,我们会发现页面直接传输过于占用带宽。对应web的优化,这里想到的是通过对页面进行gzip压缩,然后传到用户那里,再解压,这样可以有效的减少带宽。这里就会用到nginx 的gzip模块了。默认的nginx是集成有gzip模块的。只需在http段增加下面配置即可。

gzip on;
 gzip_min_length 1k; #最小1k
 gzip_buffers 16 64k;
 gzip_http_version 1.1;
 gzip_comp_level 6;
 gzip_types text/plain application/x-javascript text/css application/xml application/javascript;
 gzip_vary on;

给个首页看看效果

不要在意请求数不一样,那两个请求是谷歌插件来的。不用觉得我在骗你。

作为假使有很多人访问的网站来说,缓存肯定是很重要的东西了。一开始是想通过插件,让nginx和redis进行合成,然后nginx使用redis来缓存的,但是发现配置起来很麻烦,还要自己下载插件,重新编译nginx,比较麻烦,所以这里觉得用nginx自带的缓存也是不错的选择。虽然效率比不上redis,但是有还是比没有好。nginx默认的缓存是磁盘文件系统的缓存,而不是像redis那样的内存级别的缓存。一开始我以为nginx就只有这样。后来查了写资料,才知道是我太天真了,对linux不是很了解导致的。linux的一切皆文件。原来我们可以把文件缓存到内存对应的linux文件系统中。我说的可能比较难以理解,请自行搜索/dev/shm 这个文件目录。我们把文件缓存到这个文件目录里,其实就相当与内存的缓存了。只不过还是靠文件系统管理。所以比不上自定义格式的redis那样的内存缓存。

在http段进行基本配置

#缓存配置
proxy_cache_key '$host:$server_port$request_uri';
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
proxy_temp_path /dev/shm/jielierp/proxy_temp_path;
proxy_cache_path /dev/shm/jielierp/proxy_cache_path levels=1:2 keys_zone=cache_one:200m inactive=5d max_size=1g;
proxy_ignore_headers x-accel-expires expires cache-control set-cookie;

location ~ .*\.(js|css|ico|png|jpg|eot|svg|ttf|woff) {
 proxy_cache cache_one;
 proxy_cache_valid 200 304 302 5d;
 proxy_cache_valid any 5d;
 proxy_cache_key '$host:$server_port$request_uri';
 add_header x-cache '$upstream_cache_status from $host';
 proxy_pass http:
//192.168.8.203:808;
expires 30d; #缓存30天
 }

经过这两个的配置就基本能实现了,这里说几个注意项,也是困扰我很久的问题。上面第一段代码第6行,proxy_ignore_headers 如果web项目中的html的head头里面指定

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">

这些不缓存的话,就要加上proxy_ignore_headers的配置项了。还有一点就是/dev/shm下面的文件系统权限默认只给root用户,所以要chmod 777 -r /dev/shm 这样不是很安全的做法,如果实际上线可以给定某个用户组,关于用户组的设置是配置的第一行

user www www;

上面第二段代码的第6行是增加一个header字段方便查看是否击中缓存。

我们rm -rf /dev/shm/jielierp/proxy_* 下面的所有文件(注意这里如果是进行多次测试的话要nginx -s reload 重新读取配置或重启服务,因为你rm -rf只是删除了缓存文件,但是缓存的结构信息还在nginx进程里面,结构还在,如果不重启的话,是会出现访问不到的)

到这里已经快结束了。最后也是比较关键的一个技术点,就是集群,集群,集群。这个就要用到upstream了,看到最开头的配置文件了吗,就是那个

#负载均衡组
#静态服务器组
upstream static {
 server 127.0.0.1:808 weight=1;
 server 192.168.8.203:808 weight=1;
}

#动态服务器组
upstream dynamic {
 server 127.0.0.1:8080;
 #server 192.168.8.203:8080;
}

上面那个就是集群组了。upstream是关键字,static 和 dynamic是两个服务器集群组的名称。以第一个为例,server 127.0.0.1:808 是服务器地址,后面的weight=1 是权重。有多个就写多个。亲测试过,集群中的一个坏了,不影响系统运行。至于更多的轮询规则,可以参考网上更多的资料。这里不多说。至于怎么使用呢? proxy_pass http://192.168.8.203:808 改为 proxy_pass http://static; 这样即可实现均衡。

到这里就结束了。把上面各个部分根据自己需求配置起来就可以实现单机房负载均衡了。 上面这种做法有一个缺点就是在前面的那一台nginx如果当机,后面所以机器就失去了被访问的能力了,所以需要在前面实现多个nginx多机房的负载。关于这个就是另外一个话题了。目前还没有研究。以后有机会再说了。

上面动态服务器组如果是那种需要保存用户状态的话,会有问题,就是session问题,比如我在server1进行登录后,下一次动态服务器组进行轮询后可能分配到server2,就会造成要重新登录。治标的办法是,配置轮询规则,根据用户请求的ip进行hash,然后分配对应的服务器。具体配置如下:

upstream dynamic{
ip_hash;
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
server 192.168.0.203:8080;
}

这样就可以实现一个用户对应一个服务器节点。这样就不会有重复登录的问题。另一种治本的办法是,利用缓存系统进行session的统一存储管理。
