Overview
Xloud Load Balancer distributes inbound application traffic across a pool of backend instances. Use the guides below to create load balancers, configure listeners and pools, set up health monitors, assign public floating IPs, and troubleshoot traffic issues.Create a Load Balancer
Provision a new load balancer with a listener, pool, and health monitor in a single workflow.
Listeners
Add HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, and UDP listeners to an existing load balancer.
Pools
Manage backend member pools and configure traffic distribution algorithms.
Health Monitors
Configure TCP, HTTP, and HTTPS health checks to automatically remove unhealthy members.
Floating IP Assignment
Expose your load balancer VIP on a public network using a floating IP.
Troubleshooting
Resolve provisioning failures, member health issues, and TLS handshake errors.
Core Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Load Balancer | Top-level resource holding a virtual IP (VIP) on a chosen subnet |
| Listener | Protocol and port definition. A load balancer supports multiple listeners |
| Pool | Collection of backend members. Each listener routes to one default pool |
| Member | A backend instance IP and port registered in a pool |
| Health Monitor | Periodic probes that mark members UP or DOWN |
| L7 Policy | HTTP routing rules — redirect, reject, or forward based on URL path or hostname |
| Flavor | Appliance capacity profile selected at provisioning time |
