With content-based routing according to user-defined rules, you can efficiently manage traffic and ensure smooth operation of your IT infrastructure. The Application Load Balancer allows for configuration on the application layer, enabling you to customize routing based on various parameters such as http methods, request headers, hostname, paths, or query string parameters.
Effortless Configuration and Deployment
Setting up and deploying the Application Load Balancer is a breeze as it is a fully managed service by IONOS. You can quickly configure your virtual data center and align your applications for improved performance and scalability. The Load Balancer is designed to provide a fixed response, reducing the need for failover scenarios or error handling in your software. Additionally, error management is centralized to handle unauthorized access attempts efficiently.
Compatibility and Flexibility with Network Load Balancer
For maximum flexibility, IONOS offers the Network Load Balancer in addition to the Application Load Balancer, extending load balancing capabilities to both network layer (Layer 3) and application layer (Layer 7). By performing regular health checks and supporting redundant IT architectures, the Load Balancers ensure optimal performance for configured targets. You can configure them individually or use them in succession, depending on the requirements of your applications.
