Configuring Load Balancers

Overview

This skill provides automated assistance for the described functionality.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure:

  • •Backend servers are identified with IPs or DNS names
  • •Load balancer type is determined (ALB, NLB, Nginx, HAProxy)
  • •SSL certificates are available if using HTTPS
  • •Health check endpoints are defined
  • •Understanding of traffic distribution requirements (round-robin, least-connections)
  • •Cloud provider CLI installed (if using cloud load balancers)

Instructions

  1. •Select Load Balancer Type: Choose based on requirements (L4 vs L7, cloud vs on-prem)
  2. •Define Backend Pool: List backend servers with ports and weights
  3. •Configure Health Checks: Set check interval, timeout, and healthy threshold
  4. •Set Up SSL/TLS: Configure certificates and cipher suites
  5. •Define Routing Rules: Create path-based or host-based routing
  6. •Enable Session Persistence: Configure sticky sessions if needed
  7. •Add Monitoring: Set up logging and metrics collection
  8. •Test Configuration: Validate syntax and test traffic distribution

Output

Nginx Configuration:

nginx
# {baseDir}/nginx/load-balancer.conf
