Azure-Floating-IP | simple solution for implementing the Floating IP pattern

Azure-Floating-IP is a Shell library. Azure-Floating-IP has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

In a nutshell, a Floating IP is an IP address that can be moved from a primary VM to a standby VM when the primary VM fails. According to the Floating IP Pattern wiki, the problem is:. You need to stop the server when applying a patch to a server, or when upgrading the server (to increase the processing capabilities). Because stopping a server stops the services it provides, you need to to minimize the downtime. For web servers, you can use the Domain Name System (DNS) to swap the server. However, in this case as well, typically the swapping time cannot be shortened to less than the Time to Live (TTL) value, so this is not suited to instant swapping.
