Load balancer for VPC

Before you begin...

Review the following checklist to ensure that your environment is set up properly.
  1. Configure your VPC
  2. With IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), you can use the UI, CLI, and API to quickly provision virtual server instances with high network performance. VPC infrastructure contains a number of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offerings, including Virtual Servers for VPC. Learn more
  3. Create at least one subnet in your selected VPC
  4. Subnets are networks created within a VPC. Subnets are a fundamental mechanism within VPC used to allocate addresses to individual resources (such as Virtual server instances), and enable various controls to these resources through the use of network ACLs, routing tables, resource groups.

  5. Create Virtual Server Instances (VSIs)
  6. IBM Cloud Virtual Servers for VPC are an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering that gives you access to all of the benefits of IBM Cloud VPC, including network isolation, security, and flexibility. With VSIs, you can quickly provision instances with high network performance. Learn more

    Back-end pools

    Creating a back-end pool from the provisioning page is optional. You can create one later from the load balancer details view after it has been provisioned. Regardless of how you create the pool, you must do so in order for your load balancer to function correctly.

    Front-end listeners

    Creating a front-end listener from the provisioning page is optional. You can create one later from the load balancer details view after it has been provisioned. Regardless of how you create the listener, you must do so in order for your load balancer to function correctly.
