Load balancing for Public Cloud
Improve application performance
Load balancers play a crucial role in managing cloud infrastructure. By dividing traffic evenly, load balancers boost the availability and performance of your platform and servers. With Load Balancing in Public Cloud, you can create advanced cluster setups and give your end users the best possible experience.
High availability
Active/Standby Load Balancer (High Availability): perfect for essential applications. Should the active load balancer go down, the standby load balancer takes over tasks without downtime.
Listeners
Traffic is streamlined through listeners. They divide incoming traffic based on specified protocols and gates. Listeners work with pools, groups of backend servers, each configured for a specific type of traffic. These pools use algorithms such as Round Robin, Least Connections and Source IP to divide traffic efficiently.
Monitoring
Monitoring the health of your backend servers is essential. The monitoring through OpenStack's Octavia does this for you. They monitor server performance constantly and router traffic away from servers with downtime, keeping your system healthy and reducing downtime.
Https Offloading
Further improve performance with https offloading: a process in which encrypted HTTPS gets decrypted by the load balancer or proxy server, before getting sent to your backend servers.
