Multiple Regions

Let’s say we want to deploy a VCLGroup to a set of agents in the US and a set of agents in Asia. We want to use the same VCL files for all servers. This would require the following:

Agents in the US will be tagged with a tag named US
Agents in Asia will be tagged with Asia.
One VCL will be created that should run on all servers, no matter which region.
The VCLGroup will be assigned both deployment configurations.
The VCLGroup will be assigned the created VCL.

Let’s assume we have two agents running, the one with ID 1 runs in the US. The other with ID 2 runs in Asia. The CLI commands to achieve the above would be (for further CLI examples, see the CLI chapter).

# Create tags
vcli tags add US Asia

# We assume US tag got ID 1 and Asia got ID 2. We tag agent 1 with US and agent 2 with Asia.
vcli agents tag 1 --tag 1
vcli agents tag 2 --tag 2

# Upload a VCL from the file my.vcl (assumed to get ID 1 and a new file version 1)
vcli file add main.vcl my.vcl

# Create a domain (assumed to get ID 1)
vcli domains add example.com

# Now create a VCLGroup to use on both regions (both agents)
# Deployments 1 and 2, domain 1 and VCL 1
vcli vg add myVG --tags name=US --tags name=Asia --domains 1

# Now deploy it
vcli vg deploy 1 --vcl 1
