AWS load balancers table

AWS documentation

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/SvcIntro.html
Abiquo supports AWS Classic load balancers and AWS Application Load Balancers

Healthy threshold

AWS will assign a previously unhealthy machine a healthy status after a number of successful health checks.
See Abiquo Configuration Properties#amazon for how to set the healthy threshold of machines in AWS in the abiquo.properties file. 

Load balancer name

• AWS will only accept the following characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and "-". 

• You cannot change the Name in AWS

Algorithm

• ROUND_ROBIN

• LEAST_

Subnets

• AWS load balancers are created for virtual datacenter networks, which are VPC subnets

• To create a load balancer, you must assign at least one subnet

• When you edit the load balancer, you can add new subnets and delete subnets

• The platform supports VMs in different subnets attached to the same load balancer

High availability

For high availability, create private networks (subnets) in different availability zones in your virtual datacenter

Routing rules

• You must create at least one routing rule. There must always be at least one routing rule in the load balancer

• You can only create one routing rule per protocol and port

Routing rule protocol in

AWS accepts HTTP, HTTPS, TCP

Routing rule port in

AWS accepts 80, 443 and 1024-65535 inclusive

SSL certificate

Can be a new certificate or an existing one registered in AWS with an ARN.

• To list and upload SSL server certificates to IAM your user requires IAM privileges to manage IAM

• Abiquo never stores SSL certificates, so you cannot create a routing rule for a secure connection in an Abiquo-only load balancer that is not assigned to a subnet

Health check

• If you do not create a health check, AWS will create a default health check with the following specifications:
  
  

  • Name in the format "PROTOCOL:port", for example, "TCP:80"

  • TCP check to one of the ports specified in a routing rule

• AWS will only allow you to create one health check per load balancer

Firewalls

If a firewall does not display, it may not have been properly synchronized. In this case, you will need to click Cancel, synchronize firewalls and start again creating a new load balancer
