Adding a Load Balancer for your Stream Managers

1. From the Networking section, select Load Balancers
2. Click on Create Load Balancer and select the “Load Balancer” (non-network) type
3. Add Details:
   • Give your load balancer a name for easier management.
   • Choose Public visibility
   • Select Reserved IP Address and Create new reserved IP address so you can create a DNS record for your load balancer
   • Enter the DNS name to be assigned to the load balancer
   • Choose the compartment where your autoscale environment will be configured
   • Choose the minimum and maximum bandwidth range that you require, using the sliders
   • Under “Choose Networking”, select the stream manager subnet and stream manager security group
   • Optional: under Advanced Options, Use a Web Application Firewall Policy to protect against layer 7 attacks.
   • Click on Next
4. Choose Backends
   • Specify a Load Balancing Policy: we recommend selecting the “Least Connections” option to best distribute traffic
   • Select Backend Servers (Optional). Click Add Backends to select resources from a list of available Compute instances. You can choose instances from one compartment at a time. After you add instances from one compartment, you can choose Add More Backends to add instances from another compartment. You can also add backend servers after you create the load balancer. If you want to add your existing Stream Manager to the backend, click on Add Backend and select your stream manager VM.
   • Specify Health Check Policy: modify the default HTTP port from 80 to 5080. The other defaults can remain.
   • Use SSL; choose the Load Balancer Managed Certificate, and load your SSL certificate, CA Certificate and Private Key pem files.
5. Configure Listener
   • Create a listener for HTTPS traffic, port 443, and choose Load Balancer Managed Certificate as above.
