Polystack Load Balancer
Product details and datasheet on polystack.tech
Polystack Load Balancer
User Guide
Create load balancers, configure listeners and pools, set up health monitors, and assign floating IPs to distribute traffic across your instances.
Admin Guide
Configure provider drivers, manage flavor profiles, set project quotas, and monitor the load balancing infrastructure as a platform administrator.
CLI Reference
openstack loadbalancer commands for managing load balancers, listeners, pools, and members from the command line.Health Monitors
Configure TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, and PING health checks to automatically remove unhealthy members from rotation.
Key Features
Layer 4 & Layer 7 Balancing
Support for TCP/UDP load balancing at layer 4 and HTTP/HTTPS routing at layer 7. Route traffic based on URL path, hostname, or header values.
Active Health Monitoring
Continuous health checks detect member failures in seconds and automatically redirect traffic — no manual intervention required.
TLS Termination
Offload TLS processing to the load balancer. Manage certificates through Polystack Key Manager for centralized certificate lifecycle control.
Session Persistence
SOURCE_IP, HTTP_COOKIE, and APP_COOKIE persistence modes ensure session-aware applications route returning clients to the same member.
Floating IP Integration
Associate a public floating IP directly with a load balancer VIP for external access without exposing individual backend instances.
Multiple Algorithms
Choose from ROUND_ROBIN, LEAST_CONNECTIONS, and SOURCE_IP distribution algorithms. Match the balancing strategy to your workload profile.
