FAQs
Which load balancers are available?
Options include NGINX, HAProxy, Varnish, and LiteSpeed Web ADC.
Do load balancers perform health checks of backends?
Yes. Each load balancer provides health checks to monitor the status of backend servers. The default health check settings can be manually adjusted up to your needs
How do I balance traffic across a cluster?
Attach the load balancer to your scaled nodes and configure routing rules.
What is the difference between environment-level load balancers and shared load balancer?
Environment-level load balancers are part of your environment and route traffic within it. Shared load balancer is a platform-level service that processes requests from outside and routes them to your environments. Shared load balancer is used by all users and all environments, but you can switch to public IP for direct access.
