AWS ElementNotes
vCloud Director documentation
SSL certificates
  • 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 network
Healthy threshold
  • AWS will assign a previously unhealthy machine a healthy status after a number of successful health checks. Check the value configured for your platform with your system administrator.
Modifications

You cannot change the following attributes in AWS:

  • Name
  • Description
Load balancer Name
  • AWS will only accept the following characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and "-". 
  • You cannot change the name after Abiquo creates the load balancer in AWS (when a valid load balancer is saved with a subnet assigned to it)
Algorithm
  • ROUND_ROBIN only
Abiquo-only load balancers
  • AWS load balancers are created for virtual datacenter networks, which are VPC subnets
  • Abiquo will not create a load balancer in AWS until it is assigned to at least one subnet
    • You can create a load balancer in Abiquo only, by not supplying a subnet
    • If you delete the load balancer directly in the provider, it will remain in Abiquo only
High availability
  • For high availablility, create private networks (subnets) in different availability zone in your virtual datacenter
  • Abiquo 4.0+ supports virtual machines in different subnets attached to the same load balancer
Multiple incoming connectionsUse one load balancer with multiple incoming connections to different ports
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 path
Subnet
  • If you do not supply a subnet when creating the load balancer, Abiquo will not create the LB in AWS
  • When you edit the load balancer, you can add new subnets and delete subnets
  • Abiquo 4.0+ supports virtual machines in different subnets attached to the same load balancer
Routing rule protocol inAWS accepts HTTP, HTTPS, TCP
Routing rule port inAWS accepts 80, 443 and 1024-65535 inclusive
SSL certificateCan be a new certificate or an existing one registered in AWS with an ARN
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
  • No labels
