A pool represents a group of members over which the load balancing will be applied.
Algorithm:
The load balancer algorithm that distributes traffic to the pool members.
-
LEAST_CONNECTIONS: Allocates requests to the instance with the least number of active
connections.
-
ROUND_ROBIN: Rotates requests evenly between multiple instances.
-
SOURCE_IP: Requests from a unique source IP address are consistently directed to the same instance.
Protocol:
The protocol for which this pool and its members listen. A valid value is HTTP, HTTPS, PROXY, PROXYV2, TCP, UDP or SCTP.
Session Persistence:
The type of session persistence for distributing traffic to the pool members.
-
SOURCE_IP: Session persistence based on source ip.
-
HTTP_COOKIE: Session persistence based on http cookie.
-
APP_COOKIE: Session persistence based on application cookie.
TLS Enabled:
Enable TLS for backend re-encryption, communications between the load
balancer and the member servers are encrypted.
TLS Cipher String:
A string of the allowed ciphers using the OpenSSL syntax. The syntax
is a colon separated list of the chiphers, ex.
"TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256"
Note, don't include quotation marks. An empty string sets the default TLS
Cipher String configured in Octavia.
