AWS Global Accelerator

AWS Global Accelerators can be used to speed up traffic in regions that are physically located far away from the main cluster, by routing the traffic through AWS' own networks instead of the public internet.

Additionally, Global Accelerators can be used to guarantee static IPv4 addresses on the public side of the cluster, which is useful if the customer needs absolute guarantees about the public IPv4 addresses for firewalling purposes.

To enable the deployment of Global Accelerators, simply set the following value in your solution, as per the example:

module "gitlab_cluster" {
  # [...]

  global_accelerator_enabled = true
}
Please note that the DNS records managed by Terraform are automatically modified, so making this change on existing environments may result in temporary downtime or other connectivity issues.
