Adding new Load Balancer rules

Use this operation to migrate existing deployments, that do not use Routing Policy, from Elastic Load Balancer Proxy Shared Service to this load balancer solution.

About this task

Execute this operation to migrate deployments, that do not use Routing Policy, from Elastic Load Balancer Proxy Shared Service to this load balancer solution. While adding the rule, if you enable HTTPS and provide a value for signer certificate, then this operation will perform a rolling stop and start of the ODR server.

Procedure

  1. Expand Add a new load balancer rule section of ELBServer operations.
  2. In the Deployment identifier of the application workload field, specify the deployment ID of workload which contains the application that requires load balancing.
  3. In the Virtual host name field, specify the host name that will be used by the user to access the application.
  4. In the Application Context Root field, specify the context root of the application. You can avoid the leading and trailing back slash (/) and do not add an asterisk (*) in the end. If your input is bi then any URL that starts with /bi/ will be routed using this rule.
  5. In the Application HTTP Port field, specify the application HTTP port.
  6. Optionally, check Enable HTTPS if the application supports HTTPS protocol. If Enable HTTPS is checked, then specify the HTTPS port in Application HTTPS Port.
  7. In the Application host names (comma separated) field, specify comma separated, fully-qualified host name of the virtual machines running the application.
  8. Optionally, in the Signer Certificate field, specify the personal certificate of the application. This is required only if HTTPS is enabled. The input signer certificate is set on the ODR server, so that the request made from the ODR server to the application server is trusted by the application server.
    Important: Do not include the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE tags in the certificate string.
  9. Optionally, check Add a rule for a Docker container if this rule is for a workload that uses Docker container software component.
  10. Click Submit.
