Overview
This guide covers platform-level administration of the Xloud Load Balancer service. Administrators configure provider drivers, define flavor profiles that govern appliance capacity, enforce per-project quotas, and monitor the health of the underlying infrastructure.- XDeploy
- CLI
The Load Balancer service is configured through the XDeploy Configuration panel:
Configure service parameters
Set the following options as needed:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Controller Interface | Management network interface for appliance communication |
| Amphora Network | Network and subnet used by load balancer appliances |
| Flavor Sizing | Appliance flavor (vCPU, RAM) for capacity tiers |
| Topology | Single or Active-Standby appliance topology |
| TLS Certificates | Certificate configuration for HTTPS termination |
Architecture
Controller-appliance topology, data plane, and management plane components.
Provider Drivers
View and configure the load balancing provider drivers available in your deployment.
Flavor Profiles
Create capacity tiers that users select at load balancer provisioning time.
Quotas
Enforce per-project resource limits for load balancers, listeners, pools, and members.
Monitoring
Monitor appliance health, connection statistics, and service component status.
Security
Restrict management plane access, manage TLS certificate lifecycle, and audit quota usage.
Troubleshooting
Resolve appliance provisioning failures, service outages, and high latency issues.
