Network and Load Balancer

A scale group connects to the rest of your infrastructure through a VPC, an optional public IP, and a load balancer that fronts its nodes. Two tabs cover this: the Network tab and the Attached LB tab.

Network Tab​

The Network tab is available when the group is Running, Scaling, Starting, Stopping, or Stopped. It manages the VPCs attached to the group and whether group nodes receive a public IP.

VPC​

The VPC section lists the VPCs attached to the scale group.

  • Attach a VPC — if VPCs are already attached, select Attach more vpc; if none are attached, select the Click here link to attach one.
  • Detach a VPC — select Detach Vpc and confirm in the dialog.

A scale group's nodes inherit the network you attach here. See VPC documentation for VPC concepts and limits.

Public IP​

The Public IP section shows whether group nodes are assigned a public IP (Enabled or Disabled).

  • To change it, select the Click here link.
  • Confirm in the Confirm Enable/Disable Public IP? dialog.
note

Public IP can be unassigned only when the scale group is attached to a VPC.

Attached LB​

The Attached LB tab is shown when the group is Running or Scaling. It lists every load balancer that uses this scale group as a backend.

ColumnWhat it shows
S No.Row number.
LB NameThe load balancer's name.
StatusThe load balancer's current status, with a colored indicator.

Attaching a scale group to a load balancer is done from the load balancer side, by adding the group as an Auto Scale Group backend. As the Scaler adds and removes nodes, the load balancer automatically lists and de-lists them, so traffic always reaches healthy nodes. See Backend Mapping.

tip

Pairing every scale group with a load balancer gives your users a single, stable address even though the underlying nodes change continuously.
