Basic overall flow of the settings

This section describes the basic flow for setting Managed Load Balancer.

＜ Overall flow chart ＞

Create a Managed Load Balancer：from Create to Deploy

The procedure for creating a new one is as follows.

• "Create" a Managed Load Blancer. At this stage, the Managed Load Balancer has not been configured with device connections or policies for the customer's network.

• "Add" the settings according to the customer's environment. Each added setting (policy, health monitor, etc.) will initially put it in a state of "Waiting for Change Setting".

• By executing "Deploy" of Managed Load Balancer instance, Managed Load Balancer instance is actually created and the settings are applied.

1. Create a Managed Load Balancer instance

   Create a Managed Load Balancer instance and connect to your logical network.

   
   

2. Add settings.

   1. Network settings (Add if it is needed)

      1. Add interface

         Connect your Managed Load Balancer instance to your logical network.
      2. Add static route

         Configure static routes for Managed Load Balancer.

         
         
   2. Load balancing settings

      ＜ When protocol is L4（TCP/UDP）＞

      1. Add health monitor

         Configure the function to periodically monitor the failure of the load balancing target (real server).
      2. Add listener

         Configure the function to check connection requests to the Managed Load Balancer using the specified IP address, port number, and protocol.
      3. Add target group

         Configure the grouping function of the load balancing target (real server) of Managed Load Balancer.
      4. Add policy and rule

         In the policy setting, associate the health monitor and target group with the listener, and configure the algorithm and persistence method.
      5. How to configure Source NAT and X-Forwarded-For 　（If necessary, please set.）

         Enable the Source NAT function that translates the IP address when communicating from the target of load balancing to the outside.

         
         

      ＜ When protocol is HTTP ＞

      1. Add health monitor

         Configure the function to periodically monitor the failure of the load balancing target (real server).
      2. Add listener

         Configure the function to check connection requests to the Managed Load Balancer using the specified IP address, port number, and protocol.
      3. Add target group

         Configure the grouping function of the load balancing target (real server) of Managed Load Balancer.
      4. Add policy and rule

         In the policy setting, associate the health monitor and target group with the listener, and configure the algorithm and persistence method.

         If you want to redirect to the sorry page, set it here.

         Set the transfer destination path in the setting of rule.
      5. How to configure Source NAT and X-Forwarded-For 　（If necessary, please set.）

         Enable the Source NAT function that translates the IP address when communicating from the target of load balancing to the outside.

         (For http/https, X-Forwarded-For is automatically added when the Source NAT function is enabled.)

         
         

      ＜ When protocol is HTTPS ＞

      1. Add health monitor

         Configure the function to periodically monitor the failure of the load balancing target (real server).
      2. Add listener

         Configure the function to check connection requests to the Managed Load Balancer using the specified IP address, port number, and protocol.
      3. Add target group

         Configure the grouping function of the load balancing target (real server) of Managed Load Balancer.
      4. How to configure the SSL certificate

         Upload your SSL certificate.
      5. Add policy and rule

         In the policy setting, associate the health monitor and target group with the listener, and select the algorithm, persistence method, SSL certificate, and TLS policy.

         If you want to redirect to the sorry page, set it here.

         Set the transfer destination path in the setting of rule.
      6. How to configure Source NAT and X-Forwarded-For 　（If necessary, please set.）

         Enable the Source NAT function that translates the IP address when communicating from the target of load balancing to the outside.

         (For http/https, X-Forwarded-For is automatically added when the Source NAT function is enabled.)

         
         
3. Deploy Managed Load Balancer

   Apply the settings added in 2 to the Managed Load Balancer instance and deploy it.

   Billing starts when construction is completed.

Note

It is not possible to "Deploy" only with the network settings. Please "Deploy" after adding load balancing settings.

Change Managed Load Balancer settings：from Edit to Apply

The procedure for changing the settings is as follows.

• When you edit each function, a new configuration file is created as a "Waiting for Change Setting".

• Apply them all to the Managed Load Balancer instance.

While waiting for changes, the status of each function will be "UPDATE_STAGED" or "DELETE_STAGED", however the status of the Managed Load Balancer itself will remain "Active".

1. Execute the below item for which you want to change the settings.

• Add interface

  Connect your Managed Load Balancer instance to your logical network.
• Delete interface

  Detach the Managed Load Balancer instance from the logical network.
• Edit the health monitor

  Edit the health monitor.
• Edit listener

  Edit the listener.
• Edit static route

  Edit the static route.
• Edit target group

  Edit the target group.
• Add members to the target group

  Add members to the target group.
• Delete target group members

  Delete the members of the target group.
• Edit policy and rule

  Edit settings of policy and rule.

2. Apply the changes of settings for Managed Load Balancer

   Apply the settings edited in 1 to the Managed Load Balancer instance.

Note

It may take several minutes to ten minutes to apply. For the impact on communication by applying the settings, chesk "Switching Managed Load Balancer instances for configuration changes and failure recovery" and "Synchronization specification".

Cancel the changes of settings before they are applied.

"Waiting for Change Setting" can be canceled before they are applied.

• Cancel the changes of settings for Managed Load Balancer

  Cancels the "Waiting for Change Setting" of the Managed Load Balancer.

  You can also delete all pending configurations or cancel them partially.

Update SSL certificate

When updating the SSL certificate, you can update it by uploading the additional SSL certificate in advance and changing the linkage to the policy.

1. Add SSL certificate

   Add a set of certificates in addition to the ones you have been using so far.
2. Edit policy and rule

   Edit policy settings and rule settings. On the policy screen, change the name of the newly added SSL certificate.
3. Apply the changes of settings for Managed Load Balancer

   Apply the settings edited in 2 to the Managed Load Balancer instance.

Note

It may take several minutes to ten minutes to apply. For the impact on communication by applying the settings, chesk "Switching Managed Load Balancer instances for configuration changes and failure recovery" and "Synchronization specification".

Delete Managed Load Balancer

Delete Managed Load Balancers. (Once deleted, it cannot be recovered.)

• Delete Managed Load Balancer

  Delete Managed Load Balancer.
