Load balancers
Put a managed load balancer in front of your servers and requests only reach healthy targets. Terminate TLS in one place and scale out by adding servers.

What you get
Balance raw TCP or HTTP and HTTPS traffic. HTTP/2 is used by default whenever the client supports it.
Decrypt TLS on the load balancer to free CPU on your servers, or pass encrypted traffic straight through to them.
Configurable health checks probe every target, and each request is watched as well, so traffic only goes to servers that respond.
Make the load balancer your only public entry point and keep the servers behind it on a private network.
The PROXY protocol carries connection details such as the client IP address through to your application.
Mix cloud servers and dedicated servers behind one load balancer, and change targets whenever you need to.
Use cases
Run several identical app servers and add more as traffic grows, without touching DNS.
Take servers out of rotation one at a time for updates while the rest keep serving users.
Expose cluster services through a managed load balancer that the Kubernetes cloud controller manager creates and configures.
Terminate TLS in one place and keep databases and app servers off the public internet.
How it works
Pick a plan and a region: Istanbul or Nuremberg.
Add a service for each port you listen on, attach targets, and set health checks and certificates.
Send your domain to the load balancer IP address and traffic starts flowing to healthy targets.
Questions
Round robin and least connections. Round robin spreads requests evenly; least connections suits requests that vary a lot in length.
A service is a listening port and protocol, such as HTTPS on port 443. A target is a server that receives the traffic. Each plan sets how many of each you can define.
Yes. Cloud servers and dedicated servers can sit behind the same load balancer.
Any valid SSL/TLS certificate. Add it to the load balancer and it handles the TLS handshake for your HTTPS services.
Yes. A cloud controller manager for Kubernetes provisions and configures load balancers from your Service objects.
Yes, if you enable the PROXY protocol. It passes the original client connection details to your servers.
