Load Balancer

Load Balancer​

A Load Balancer helps distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers to ensure high availability, reliability, and improved performance. In Cuemby Cloud, you can set up a Load Balancer to handle web applications, databases, and other services efficiently. This guide will walk you through the steps to configure a Load Balancer in Cuemby Cloud.

Creating a Load Balancer​

  • From the left-hand side menu, click on the Load Balancer tab.
  • To create a load balancer, click on the Create Load Balancer button located inside the modal of the Load Balancers page. This will open the load balancer creation page.

Set Forwarding Rules​

  • Configure forwarding rules to define how traffic should be distributed across your servers.

  • Provide a unique Rule Name for the forwarding rule. Choose the appropriate Protocol (e.g., TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS). Specify the port range for incoming traffic.

  • Select an algorithm to distribute incoming requests among instances:

    • Source – Directs traffic to the same instance based on the client’s source IP.
    • Round Robin – Distributes traffic evenly across all available instances.
    • Least Connections – Sends traffic to the instance with the fewest active connections.

  • You can enable Sticky sessions ensure that a user’s requests are consistently routed to the same backend instance.

    • LB Cookie – Uses a load balancer-generated cookie to maintain session persistence.
    • App Cookie – Uses application-defined cookies for session persistence.
    • Source-Based – Binds sessions to a backend instance based on the client’s source IP.
    • None – No session persistence; requests are distributed normally.

  • Choose the VM instances that will handle incoming traffic.
