Load Balancer Genesis Kit Manual

The Load Balancer Genesis Kit deploys a haproxy-backed load balancer for your CF. Haproxy is a load balancing solution for Cloud Foundry. Haproxy allows you to define access control lists (or ACL's) to specify what is allowed and what is blocked.

Base Parameters

• vm_type - What type of VM to deploy. This type must exist in your cloud config. Defaults to default.

• lb_network - What network to deploy haproxy into. This network must be defined in your cloud config. Defaults to default.

• advanced_haproxy_config - Any configuration values you want to deploy verbatim into haproxy. If none, set to null string.

• load_balancers - Any load balancers you want to deploy with haproxy. If none, set to empty array.

Examples

A sample load-balancer to only allow internal ip addresses to connect to a specified backend
