Abiquo supports load balancers in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Note that OCI accounts may limit the types of load balancers you can create.

You can manage OCI load balancers in the Virtual datacenters section, under Network and Load balancing.

In the Target groups section for OCI, you can create a target group separately but you must select the load balancer that it will belong to. You can also create a target group as part of a load balancer and it always belongs to this load balancer.

Display target groups in OCI

In OCI, you can create external and internal load balancers. If you create a NETWORK_LOAD_BALANCER with a routing rule protocol of HTTPS or HTTP2, then you will need to supply a certificate for your routing rule. This is an example of an internal load balancer.

An OCI load balancer can have multiple routing rules. An Abiquo routing rule is a listener in OCI and an Abiquo target group is a backend set in OCI. You can create a target group as you create the load balancer. 

Each target group can belong to one load balancer only.

Add a target group to a load balancer in OCI

Abiquo target groups are OCI backend sets and you can only have one target group per routing rule.

Each target group must have its own health check.

As usual, the routing rules send traffic to the target groups. In OCI there will be a single conditional action with 100% of traffic sent to the target group.

Check the health status of targets

To change the target group of a routing rule in an OCI load balancer, first go to Target groups and create a new target group for the load balancer.

Then, edit the load balancer and go to Routing rules. Edit a routing rule and click Edit conditional actions.
