Registering Instances with a Load Balancer
You can register instances with a load balancer to route the inbound traffic to these ones, called back-end instances. The load balancer only routes inbound traffic to its healthy registered instances.
You can register additional instances with a load balancer at any time to handle an increase of the traffic load sent to your back-end instances.
To register back-end instances using their External IPs (EIPs) rather than their instance IDs, see the OSC CLI section. |
