Load Balancer Pool

The LoadBalancerPool model defines a group of backend nodes that serve traffic distributed by one or more Virtual Servers. Each pool consists of one or more Pool Members and may include optional health monitoring.

Pools act as the target destinations for Virtual Servers, enabling load balancing logic such as round robin or least connections to be applied to a set of backend servers.

Relationships

• Can be linked to one or more VirtualServer objects.
• Must contain one or more LoadBalancerPoolMember objects.
• May reference a HealthCheckMonitor to determine member availability.
• May be assigned to a Tenant.

Notes

• Load Balancer Pool Members must be created separately and assigned to the pool.
• Health Check Monitor must exist before it can be linked to a pool.
• Pools may exist without being attached to a Virtual Server.
• A Load Balancer Pool can be defined and saved without being attached to a Virtual Server.
• A pool must have at least one Load Balancer Pool Member to be considered functionally complete for most use cases.
