Start with business needs
Anycast-BoundlessA unified entry and back-to-source solution for evaluating cross-regional business. Before accessing, it is necessary to clarify the user distribution, service agreement, connection characteristics and origin server deployment location, and then have the technical consultant confirm the deliverable configuration.
For common checking items for accounts, lines and orders, see Purchase requirements and billing。
Conditions that should be met before accessing
- Ability to provide current network and origin deployment information and coordinate changes to portal, origin, and application configurations.
- Ability to initiate real service tests from major user areas with comparable pre-access data.
- Understand whether the business relies on long connections, fixed entries, source address identification, or session state.
- The test entrance, change window and recovery plan for the original configuration have been prepared.
- The area, protocol, bandwidth, protection, cost and delivery scope confirmed by the service team have been obtained, and the required addresses, routing resources or authorization materials have been prepared according to the plan.
What information needs to be prepared
| Information | Fill in the content |
|---|---|
| Service entry | Domain name or address, website or application purpose, existing DNS and portal organization |
| User distribution | Key countries, carriers, peak visits, and current issues |
| Protocols and connections | Protocol, port, long connection duration, timeout and reconnection logic |
| Origin deployment | origin server region, address, master/backup relationship, load balancing and access restrictions |
| Capacity requirements | Daily and peak bandwidth, number of connections, request volume and expected growth |
| security requirements | Required SCDN, protection, certificates, and origin server access policies |
| continuity requirements | Acceptable outages, troubleshooting goals, maintenance windows, and rollback owners |
Delivery plan that should be confirmed
Before starting the switch, it is recommended to obtain a configuration description that corresponds to actual resources, including at least:
- External entrance, coverage, supported protocols and ports, and content that needs to be modified on the user side.
- The connection method from each entrance to the origin server, allowed sources, and related certificate configurations.
- Business health judgment, exception handling and switching behavior, as well as operations that require customer cooperation.
- Records, service contact channels and cost calculation basis that can be used for troubleshooting.
- Online acceptance criteria, original entrance retention method and rollback steps.
Access and acceptance sequence
- Measure existing access. Record the actual request success rate, connection time, business response and long connection performance in major user areas.
- integration testing test entrance. Connect to the origin server according to the delivery plan, and verify domain names, protocols, certificates, authentication and key business processes.
- Compare regional results. Repeat the test under the same business conditions and combine the application results to confirm that the solution meets expectations.
- Agree on fault drills. Arrange the test scope with the service team to observe the behavior of new connections, existing connections and the recovery process when the origin server is abnormal or the entrance changes.
- Switch in stages. After passing, adjust the formal entrance, observe the exception rate and business indicators, and save the final configuration.
Anycast's entrance selection is affected by network routing, and the effect cannot be judged based only on map distance or one Ping. Long-term connection services should also verify recovery and state consistency after disconnection, and do not use non-disruptive migration of existing connections as the default capability. For relevant boundaries seeProduct FAQ。
Acceptance record suggestions
| Acceptance items | Recommended records to keep |
|---|---|
| regional visit | Region, operator, time, target entrance and request result |
| core process | Login, API, transaction and other key operations and corresponding results of origin server logs |
| HTTPS | Actual provided certificates, domain name matching and end-to-end access results |
| long connection | Continuous connection, timeout, reconnection, and business status after recovery |
| Abnormal drill | Agreed failure scenarios, phenomena, recovery processes and unmet items |
| rollback | Business check results after original entry and configuration restoration |
Exception handling and support portal
If some areas fail, keep the area, operator, time, actual entrance, error information and origin server logs, and then compare them with normal areas. Business logs, connection tests, and routing information should be analyzed together, and protection or line failures cannot be determined based on one result alone.
After reaching the agreed rollback conditions, restore the entrance and configuration according to the confirmed plan, and retest key areas and services; when DNS is involved, the cache effective time must also be considered.
