Abstract
Edge clusters execute in a plurality of regional clouds of a cloud computing platforms, which may include cloud POPs. Edge clusters may be programmed to control access to applications executing in the cloud computing platform. Edge clusters and an intelligent routing module route traffic to applications executing in the cloud computing platform. Application instances accessed through different edge clusters may have a backup relationship managed by a health monitor that is external to the cloud computing platforms. The health monitor monitors accessibility of the application instances internally and externally relative to the cloud computing platforms and transitions the role of primary instance between the application instances by managing routing logic of the cloud computing platforms.
