1、轮询
轮询即Round Robin,根据Nginx配置文件中的顺序,依次把客户端的Web请求分发到不同的后端服务器。
配置的例子如下:
http{
upstream sampleapp {
server <<dns entry or IP Address(optional with port)>>;
server <<another dns entry or IP Address(optional with port)>>;
}
....
server{
listen 80;
...
location / {
proxy_pass http://sampleapp;
}
}
上面只有1个DNS入口被插入到upstream节,即sampleapp,同样也在后面的proxy_pass节重新提到。
2、最少连接
Web请求会被转发到连接数最少的服务器上。
配置的例子如下:
http{
upstream sampleapp {
least_conn;
server <<dns entry or IP Address(optional with port)>>;
server <<another dns entry or IP Address(optional with port)>>;
}
....
server{
listen 80;
...
location / {
proxy_pass http://sampleapp;
}
}
上面的例子只是在upstream节添加了least_conn配置。其它的配置同轮询配置。
3、IP地址哈希
前述的两种负载均衡方案中,同一客户端连续的Web请求可能会被分发到不同的后端服务器进行处理,因此如果涉及到会话Session,那么会话会比较复杂。常见的是基于数据库的会话持久化。要克服上面的难题,可以使用基于IP地址哈希的负载均衡方案。这样的话,同一客户端连续的Web请求都会被分发到同一服务器进行处理。
配置的例子如下:
http{
upstream sampleapp {
ip_hash;
server <<dns entry or IP Address(optional with port)>>;
server <<another dns entry or IP Address(optional with port)>>;
}
....
server{
listen 80;
...
location / {
proxy_pass http://sampleapp;
}
}
上面的例子只是在upstream节添加了ip_hash配置。其它的配置同轮询配置。
4、基于权重的负载均衡
基于权重的负载均衡即Weighted Load Balancing,这种方式下,我们可以配置Nginx把请求更多地分发到高配置的后端服务器上,把相对较少的请求分发到低配服务器。
配置的例子如下:
http{
upstream sampleapp {
server <<dns entry or IP Address(optional with port)>> weight=2;
server <<another dns entry or IP Address(optional with port)>>;
}
....
server{
listen 80;
...
location / {
proxy_pass http://sampleapp;
}
}
上面的例子在服务器地址和端口后weight=2的配置,这意味着,每接收到3个请求,前2个请求会被分发到第一个服务器,第3个请求会分发到第二个服务器,其它的配置同轮询配置。
还要说明一点,基于权重的负载均衡和基于IP地址哈希的负载均衡可以组合在一起使用。
我的配置,基于最简单的轮训:
#user nobody;
worker_processes 1;
#error_log logs/error.log;
#error_log logs/error.log notice;
#error_log logs/error.log info;
#pid logs/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
#log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
# '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
# '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
#access_log logs/access.log main;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
#gzip on;
upstream testapp{
server 192.168.20.50:8001;
server 192.168.20.50:8002;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;
location / {
root html;
index index.html index.htm;
proxy_pass http://testapp;
}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root html;
}
# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
#}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# root html;
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# fastcgi_index index.php;
# fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
# include fastcgi_params;
#}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}
}
# another virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration
#
#server {
# listen 8000;
# listen somename:8080;
# server_name somename alias another.alias;
# location / {
# root html;
# index index.html index.htm;
# }
#}
# HTTPS server
#
#server {
# listen 443 ssl;
# server_name localhost;
# ssl_certificate cert.pem;
# ssl_certificate_key cert.key;
# ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:1m;
# ssl_session_timeout 5m;
# ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
# ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
# location / {
# root html;
# index index.html index.htm;
# }
#}
}
说明:基于两台服务器8001和8002。这种方式真的是轮训,在服务器控制台输出轮流访问,并且不会访问出现故障的服务器。
