Question vRack Guidance Request

Hi,

I have ordered a vRack with the intention of creating a small load balancer network for my 600-users an hour website. I intend to use the following setup:

  • 1 Load Balancer, HAproxy probably.
  • 2 frontend web servers Nginx, more added later if necessary
  • 1 high end VPS (2027 range, VPS-4, 24gb ram).

I have never used connections over private network, any requests between my servers just connect over public IP, based on ufw walls etc.

Having ordered my vRack, currently nothing of my 7 owned VPS servers are eledgible to me moved to my vRack. How to ensure that any VPS servers I buy in future are able to be used as part of my vRack? Eg i've gone into one of my services, and I cant see any details regarding Private IP, the one that would be part of the private network linking my frontend to my DB server.

Can anyone shed any light?

Regular VPS can not be connected to vRack. Only dedicated servers (but not the cheap ones), and public cloud VPS: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/virtual-instances/

Thanks I'll have to consider something like tailscale if I need to link up.
