Assigning a URL to Redis Google Cloud Launcher One Click Deploy

[Jason Lee]

When I launch a 3 instance Redis deployment using the Google Cloud Launcher, it creates 3 Redis instances.

But I can only connect to 1 Redis instance at a time. (Because it doesn't give me a URL, each instance has a unique external IP.)

How can I get the benefit of 3 instances by assigning a load-balanced URL between the 3 Redis instances?

Hi Jason,

I believe what you are looking for is described in these articles and discussions by proposing the setup of a reverse proxy.
