» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • backend - (Optional) (Updatable)
    • backup - (Optional) (Updatable) Whether the load balancer should treat this server as a backup unit. If true, the load balancer forwards no ingress traffic to this backend server unless all other backend servers not marked as "backup" fail the health check policy. Example: false
    • drain - (Optional) (Updatable) Whether the load balancer should drain this server. Servers marked "drain" receive no new incoming traffic. Example: false
    • ip_address - (Required) (Updatable) The IP address of the backend server. Example: 10.0.0.3
    • offline - (Optional) (Updatable) Whether the load balancer should treat this server as offline. Offline servers receive no incoming traffic. Example: false
    • port - (Required) (Updatable) The communication port for the backend server. Example: 8080
    • weight - (Optional) (Updatable) The load balancing policy weight assigned to the server. Backend servers with a higher weight receive a larger proportion of incoming traffic. For example, a server weighted '3' receives 3 times the number of new connections as a server weighted '1'. For more information on load balancing policies, see How Load Balancing Policies Work. Example: 3
  • health_checker - (Required) (Updatable)
    • interval_ms - (Optional) (Updatable) The interval between health checks, in milliseconds. Example: 10000
    • port - (Optional) (Updatable) The backend server port against which to run the health check. If the port is not specified, the load balancer uses the port information from the Backend object. Example: 8080
    • protocol - (Required) (Updatable) The protocol the health check must use; either HTTP or TCP. Example: HTTP
    • response_body_regex - (Optional) (Updatable) A regular expression for parsing the response body from the backend server. Example: ^((?!false).|\s)*$
    • retries - (Optional) (Updatable) The number of retries to attempt before a backend server is considered "unhealthy". Example: 3
    • return_code - (Optional) (Updatable) The status code a healthy backend server should return. Example: 200
    • timeout_in_millis - (Optional) (Updatable) The maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait for a reply to a health check. A health check is successful only if a reply returns within this timeout period. Example: 3000
    • url_path - (Optional) (Updatable) The path against which to run the health check. Example: /healthcheck
  • load_balancer_id - (Required) The OCID of the load balancer on which to add a backend set.
  • name - (Required) A friendly name for the backend set. It must be unique and it cannot be changed.

    Valid backend set names include only alphanumeric characters, dashes, and underscores. Backend set names cannot contain spaces. Avoid entering confidential information.

    Example: example_backend_set

  • policy - (Required) (Updatable) The load balancer policy for the backend set. To get a list of available policies, use the ListPolicies operation. Example: LEAST_CONNECTIONS

  • session_persistence_configuration - (Optional) (Updatable)

    • cookie_name - (Required) (Updatable) The name of the cookie used to detect a session initiated by the backend server. Use '*' to specify that any cookie set by the backend causes the session to persist. Example: example_cookie
    • disable_fallback - (Optional) (Updatable) Whether the load balancer is prevented from directing traffic from a persistent session client to a different backend server if the original server is unavailable. Defaults to false. Example: false
  • ssl_configuration - (Optional) (Updatable)

    • certificate_name - (Required) (Updatable) A friendly name for the certificate bundle. It must be unique and it cannot be changed. Valid certificate bundle names include only alphanumeric characters, dashes, and underscores. Certificate bundle names cannot contain spaces. Avoid entering confidential information. Example: example_certificate_bundle
    • verify_depth - (Optional) (Updatable) The maximum depth for peer certificate chain verification. Example: 3
    • verify_peer_certificate - (Optional) (Updatable) Whether the load balancer listener should verify peer certificates. Example: true

** IMPORTANT ** Any change to a property that does not support update will force the destruction and recreation of the resource with the new property values

» Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported:

  • backend -
    • backup - Whether the load balancer should treat this server as a backup unit. If true, the load balancer forwards no ingress traffic to this backend server unless all other backend servers not marked as "backup" fail the health check policy. Example: false
    • drain - Whether the load balancer should drain this server. Servers marked "drain" receive no new incoming traffic. Example: false
    • ip_address - The IP address of the backend server. Example: 10.0.0.3
    • name - A read-only field showing the IP address and port that uniquely identify this backend server in the backend set. Example: 10.0.0.3:8080
    • offline - Whether the load balancer should treat this server as offline. Offline servers receive no incoming traffic. Example: false
    • port - The communication port for the backend server. Example: 8080
    • weight - The load balancing policy weight assigned to the server. Backend servers with a higher weight receive a larger proportion of incoming traffic. For example, a server weighted '3' receives 3 times the number of new connections as a server weighted '1'. For more information on load balancing policies, see How Load Balancing Policies Work. Example: 3
  • health_checker -
    • interval_ms - The interval between health checks, in milliseconds. The default is 30000 (30 seconds). Example: 30000
    • port - The backend server port against which to run the health check. If the port is not specified, the load balancer uses the port information from the Backend object. Example: 8080
    • protocol - The protocol the health check must use; either HTTP or TCP. Example: HTTP
    • response_body_regex - A regular expression for parsing the response body from the backend server. Example: ^((?!false).|\s)*$
    • retries - The number of retries to attempt before a backend server is considered "unhealthy". Defaults to 3. Example: 3
    • return_code - The status code a healthy backend server should return. If you configure the health check policy to use the HTTP protocol, you can use common HTTP status codes such as "200". Example: 200
    • timeout_in_millis - The maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait for a reply to a health check. A health check is successful only if a reply returns within this timeout period. Defaults to 3000 (3 seconds). Example: 3000
