[squid-users] Squid performance recommendation

[Pintér Szabolcs]

Hi squid community,

I need to find most best and sustainable way to build a stable High 
Availability squid cluster/solution for abou 40k user.

Parameters: I need HA, caching(little objects only not like big windows 
updates), scaling(It is just secondly), and I want to use and modify(in 
production,in working hours) complex black- and whitelists

I have some idea:

1. A huge kubernetes cluster

pro: Easy to scale, change the config and update.

contra: I'm afraid of the network latency.(because of the most plus 
layers e.g. vm network stack, kubernetes network stack ith vxlan and etc.).

2. Simple VM-s with a HAProxy in tcp mode

pro: less network latency(I think)

contra: More time to Administration


Has anybody any experience with squid in kubernetes(or similar 
technology) with a large number of useres?

What do you think which is the most perfect solution or do you have 
other idea for the implementation?

Thanks!

Best, Szabolcs
