Launching a load balancerΒΆ

Note

Before launching your first load balancer, we strongly recommend reading our concepts guide so as to understand the various parts.

We also suggest our recommendations for load balancing article for some general tips that might improve your load balancing implementation.

To create a load balancer in Binero cloud, you have three main options as outlined in the links below. Each option have its pros and cons:

  • The cloud management portal is very easy to use and will get a user with limited prior knowledge from A to B quickly. The tradeoff is that advanced features are not always available.

  • OpenStack Horizon is the web interface included in OpenStack. Some advanced features might only have a GUI implementation here.

  • The OpenStack terminal client is a command line implementation of OpenStack Horizon giving terminal oriented users a (very) quick way to access the cloud. The learning curve is steeper than the GUI implementation but the workflow will be very efficient.
