1 - Overview

Service Overview

The Load Balancer (LB) service of Samsung Cloud Platform automatically distributes traffic to available servers when there is an unpredictable traffic surge or server failure, ensuring the stability and continuity of customer services.

A Load Balancer serves as the service endpoint provided to clients, is deployed in a VPC subnet according to the service type (L4 / L7), and you can configure multiple services by adding listeners to the created Load Balancer.

The Listener receives client requests through the service port and processes traffic according to routing rules. L4 supports TCP / UDP / TLS protocols, and L7 supports HTTP / HTTPS protocols; in L7, you can specify an LB server group for each routing condition or set a redirect response for the request URL.

The LB server group forwards requests received by the Listener to specific servers based on load balancing and health checks. The servers receive client requests from the Load Balancer’s Source NAT IP through the ports configured for the members, and the server status is periodically monitored by the Load Balancer’s health check IP.

LB health check defines the member health check method registered in the LB server group. You can select a default LB health check resource provided for the LB server group, or create a new one to configure monitoring suitable for the application.

Features

  • Various load balancing methods: Round Robin, Least Connection, IP Hash, etc., are provided.
  • SSL Authentication Encryption and Offloading: Supports SSL offloading and allows selection of encryption level.
  • Enhanced Security: Use a firewall to manage Load Balancer communication and view connection logs by storing logs.

Provided features

  • Load Balancer: Select the service type and configure the IP to be used by the Load Balancer.
  • Listener: Set the protocol, port, and routing rules. You can add multiple Listeners to a single Load Balancer.
  • LB server group: Sets the load balancing method. LB server group can be attached to a single Load Balancer.
  • Member: Select the server to add to the LB server group. You can choose Virtual Server or Bare Metal Server resources created in the same VPC as the Load Balancer, or enter an IP address directly.
  • LB health check: Sets the member health check method. LB health checks can be registered and used across multiple LB server groups.

Component

A Load Balancer consists of a Load Balancer (Listener), LB server group (member), and LB health check.

1.1 - ServiceWatch metric

The Load Balancer sends metrics to ServiceWatch. The metrics provided by basic monitoring are data collected at 5‑minute intervals.

Reference
Refer to the ServiceWatch guide for how to view metrics in ServiceWatch.

Basic Metrics

The following are the default metrics for the Load Balancer namespace.

The indicators whose names are displayed in bold text below are the key metrics selected from the basic metrics provided by Load Balancer. Key metrics are used to build the service dashboards that are automatically created for each service in ServiceWatch.

Each metric provides guidance in the user guide on which statistical values are meaningful when querying that metric, and among the meaningful statistics, the values shown in bold are the primary statistics. In the service dashboard, you can view key metrics using primary statistical values.

      • Load Balancer service does not provide access control for Service IP and service ports.
        • When creating a Load Balancer, select Use Firewall to manage communication between the client and the Load Balancer, and between the Load Balancer and members with firewall rules, and enable Save Firewall Logs to store access logs, which is recommended.
      • When creating a service and using the Firewall log storage feature, you must configure the log repository first. * If the log storage configuration is not completed, you cannot create a Load Balancer service.
      Caution

      If you use a firewall, you must add the rules required for Load Balancer communication. Register the rules, paying attention to the direction for each purpose.

      • If you do not add a rule, the Load Balancer service will not operate correctly.

Among routing conditions, the URL path matching method is start-with(prefix match).

  • If the starting string of the HTTP Request header Path matches the routing condition’s requested URL path, the corresponding routing rule is applied.
  • Example: Request URL Path when entered as /api,
    • Matching cases: /api/users, /api/v1/login, /api/images/logo.png
