Routing & connectivity

Maingrid’s Routing and Connectivity framework delivers seamless networking setup, including VPC configuration, routing, and endpoint management—all automated to feel like magic. With robust, adaptable connectivity settings, Maingrid empowers users to connect multiple CIMS servers to various worker node groups across regions and cloud providers.

With Maingrid’s Routing and Connectivity, users can easily deploy and manage a complex, distributed network environment. This setup provides the best balance between performance, flexibility, and resilience, creating a highly adaptable infrastructure that meets the demands of both AI inference and cloud gaming applications.

Key Features of Routing and Connectivity:

• Automated Network Configuration: Maingrid handles all the complexities of network setup, including Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) creation, routing tables, and endpoint provisioning. This automation ensures users have a secure and isolated network infrastructure without the hassle of manual configuration.

• Cross-Platform and Cross-Cloud Flexibility: Users can configure CIMS servers across different regions or even in different cloud providers’ datacenters. This flexibility allows CIMS to route requests from one region to worker nodes located in another, creating a unified infrastructure that spans multiple cloud environments and geographic locations.

• Optimized for Performance and Low Latency: While cross-region and cross-cloud routing is supported, it’s generally recommended to position CIMS servers in the same region as the worker nodes, especially for latency-sensitive applications like cloud gaming. Proximity between CIMS and worker nodes minimizes latency, delivering smoother performance and faster response times.

• Scalable Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): Each Maingrid deployment creates a dedicated VPC, ensuring that traffic between CIMS servers, worker nodes, and endpoints remains secure and isolated. This architecture provides the foundation for private and scalable networking, where each component of the infrastructure can communicate securely without exposure to external networks.

• Fault Tolerance and Redundancy: Maingrid’s routing configuration leverages multiple availability zones within a region, adding resilience against localized failures. By spreading CIMS servers and worker nodes across different zones, MainGrid ensures high availability and fault tolerance. In the event of a zone failure, traffic is dynamically rerouted to healthy nodes, ensuring uninterrupted service.

• Secure Endpoints and Encrypted Communication: All endpoints are fully secured and accessible only to authorized users, with encryption protocols ensuring data privacy and integrity across all communication channels. This includes API access and data embedding, making sure that connections between CIMS servers and worker nodes are protected against unauthorized access.

• Flexible Multi-Cloud Management: Maingrid’s connectivity system supports routing between multiple cloud providers under a single control panel. This multi-cloud compatibility allows users to seamlessly extend infrastructure across providers without compromising performance, security, or scalability.

For optimal performance in cloud gaming, it’s crucial to keep CIMS servers and worker nodes within the same region and provider. Separating them across regions or providers can introduce latency, so they must remain within the same cluster to ensure smooth, low-latency gameplay for end users.
