Routing Services in a Cluster
A cluster in SHIPOPS provides one or more user services that run over HTTP(S) or TCP.
Supported Routing Types
In SHIPOPS, you can configure:
Maintenance Mode
Routing can be temporarily disabled by enabling a special maintenance mode in the cluster. In this mode, all requests can be redirected either to one web service inside the cluster or to an external URL. This mode is used when work must be performed in the cluster while the user service is stopped and users need to see a maintenance message. The web service to which requests are redirected is responsible for showing this message.
WARNING!
When maintenance mode is enabled, all types of routing are disabled: both web service routing and TCP service routing. After maintenance mode is disabled, the current routing settings are restored.
