The cloud network load balancer on the KVM platform designed for an efficient distribution of the incoming TCP requests between the servers. This helps to improve the infrastructure efficiency and fault tolerance of the by providing flexible opportunities for setting up the algorithms of the load balancing.
The basic opportunities.
Network load distribution.
Balancing algorithm support
1. Round Robin: uniform distribution of the requests in turn, is suitable for the servers with equal efficiency.
2. Least Connections: directs the requests on the server with the least number of active connections, which is useful for different server efficiency.
3. Source IP Hash: distributes the requests by the client’s IP address, which is useful for saving sessions and working with applications that require binding the user to a certain server.
4. L4 and L7 support.
5. TCP (L4): request distribution on the transport protocol level.
6. HTTP (L7): traffic management on an application level with the ability to consider URL and request headlines.
7. Monitoring and high availability. The service constantly monitors the condition of servers and automatically redirects the requests in case of failures by minimizing downtime and providing uninterrupted operations support.
8. HTTPS support. HTTPS setup on the balancer backend with an opportunity to manage SSL certificates. This improves data transmission safety.
The cloud service of the network load balancer on the KVM platform is a robust and flexible decision for different usage scenarios, from simple web applications to complex corporate systems. Thanks to the support of various balancing algorithms and flexible settings, the service can adapt to the specific needs of the application by providing high efficiency, safety and fault tolerance.
