📄️ About Load Balancer Instances
The Apiculus Load Balancer Instances (LBI) Service allows Cloud Console users to create load balancer appliances, which are Linux Instances pre-loaded with a Citrix NetScaler VPX image. LBI can be used with VPC networks to achieve various traffic management features that are not possible using the standard VPC-based load balancing.
📄️ Creating a Load Balancer Instance
Creating a load balancer instance provisions a dedicated load balancing appliance within your virtual network to distribute application traffic across multiple backend resources. Create a load balancer instance to improve application availability, optimize traffic distribution, and enhance performance by directing client requests to healthy backend servers.
📄️ Viewing Load Balancer Instance Details
Load balancer instance details provide an overview of the instance, including its current status, configuration, internal information, and network details. This information helps you monitor the instance, verify its configuration, and manage network connectivity effectively.
📄️ Viewing Load Balancer Instances
The Load Balancer Instance screen provides a centralized view for all the load balancer instances available in your account. It displays key information for each instance, allowing you to quickly identify and monitor its status and basic configuration.
📄️ Activating the NetScaler VPX Control Panel
The following steps can be used for activating the NetScaler VPX control panel and accessing it after activation:
📄️ Accessing the Alteon LBI Control Panel
The Alteon Load Balancer Instance (LBI) control panel is a web-based management interface that enables you to configure, monitor, and manage your Alteon LBI. Accessing the control panel allows you to perform advanced load balancing, traffic management, application delivery, and security configurations to ensure high availability, performance, and reliability for your applications.
📄️ Managing Instance Restore Point
Instance restore points help protect your load balancer instances by creating point-in-time recovery snapshots. You can create restore points before performing maintenance, configuration changes, or updates, and restore the instance to a previous state if required. You can also delete restore points that are no longer needed to optimize resource usage. This section explains how to create, restore, and delete instance restore points for a load balancer instance.
📄️ Managing Load Balance Instance Operations
You can manage the lifecycle of load balancer by restarting, force stopping, renaming, or deleting. These operations help you maintain service availability, resolve operational issues, organize resources, and manage your cloud infrastructure efficiently.
📄️ Reconfiguring Load Balancer Instance
Reconfigure a load balancer instance to change its compute configuration when your workload requirements change. Updating the compute pack allows you to allocate resources that better match your application's performance and capacity needs.
