Supporting specialized server types in ScaleLite and Greenlight

The load balancer ScaleLite only allows for a single server pool with no option to distinguish between servers of different versions or specialized configurations, nor assignment of servers on a per-tenant basis. In this presentation, Jan will demonstrate the newly introduced support for tagging servers in ScaleLite. These tags can then be referenced in the create call to create meetings on a correspondingly tagged server. Support for the server tags has also been added to Greenlight, allowing users to select a type of server that better suits their needs (e.g. hosting very large webinars or features from a beta version of BigBlueButton). The system can be used to leverage per-tenant server pools in a multitenant ScaleLite setup.
