{% blocktrans %}This wizard will walk you through setting up a new Load Balancer. A load balancer is a logical device. It is used to distribute workloads between multiple services called ’instances', based on the criteria defined as part of its configuration.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}Name: Enter a unique name for your load balancer (e.g., my-demo-lb).{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}Description: Provide a friendly description for your records.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}Load Balancer Method: All load balancers utilize an algorithm that defines how traffic should be directed between instances. The following algorithms are supported: ROUND_ROBIN, LEAST_CONNECTIONS, LEAST_SESSIONS.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}Load Balancer Protocol: Load Balancing of applications using HTTP, HTTPS (Secure HTTP), TCP, and SSL (Secure TCP) protocols are supported.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}Load Balancer Port: This is automatically assigned based on the Load Balancer Protocol selection.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}Instance Port: The acceptable instance ports for both HTTPS/SSL and HTTP/TCP connections are 0-65535.{% endblocktrans %}
