When to use it

Key points

• Improve availability with multi-backend design.
• Handle higher traffic peaks.
• Reduce downtime during maintenance.

Implementation

Steps

1. Services -> WebGate -> Load balancing.
2. Create rule for selected domain.
3. Select allowed backend VPS instances.
4. Set balancing mode and health checks.
5. Save and verify active state.

Post-deployment validation

Steps

1. Run repeated requests and verify distribution behavior.
2. Simulate one backend failure and observe failover.
3. Track application errors in backend logs.

Concrete example

Example: two web VPS instances serve the same application.

One load-balancing rule sends requests across both backends.

If one backend fails, traffic continues on the remaining backend.
