VIPA stands for Virtual IP Address. It is a virtual IP address that is not tied to a specific physical network interface. VIPAs provide a level of abstraction and flexibility in network configurations, enabling features such as high availability, load balancing, and service migration. VIPAs are commonly used to ensure continuous service availability by allowing services to fail over to another server without changing the IP address used by clients. They are also used to distribute network traffic across multiple servers, improving performance and scalability. In cloud environments, VIPAs are frequently used for internal service discovery and communication. Overall, VIPAs are a key technology for building resilient and scalable network infrastructures.
