In the dynamic landscape of network management, Load Balancers are essential tools that distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers. This strategic distribution enhances efficiency, ensures reliability, and maintains high availability by preventing any single server from becoming a performance bottleneck.

A Load Balancer plays a vital role in distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers. This strategic distribution enhances efficiency, ensures reliability, and maintains high availability by preventing any single server from becoming a performance bottleneck.

We are delighted to announce the inclusion of a Load Balancer feature in the VMX portal. This addition empowers users to efficiently manage and distribute incoming traffic across servers, optimizing resource utilization and enhancing overall system performance.

VMX now offers the HAProxy load balancer, a robust open-source solution for load balancing. This feature allows users to easily configure load balancing, ensuring high availability and optimal performance for their services.

HAProxy continuously monitors the health and availability of backend servers by periodically sending health check probes. Unhealthy servers are automatically removed from the load balancer rotation until they become healthy again.

HAProxy is a powerful and versatile load balancer that plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability, scalability, and reliability of web applications by intelligently distributing incoming traffic across multiple servers.

This integration in the VMX portal provides users with enhanced control over their infrastructure, offering a streamlined and effective solution for their load balancing requirements.

Region: you will need to choose the region for your data center (DC).

Location & Cluster: Once you have chosen the region for your virtual machine during the creation process, the next step is to select the specific location and time zone within that region. Ensure that you pick the appropriate location and set the correct time zone.

Connections: Select the appropriate concurrent connection.

CPU & RAM: Pick the number of VCPUs (virtual CPUs) based on what I suggest. If it's a simple task, maybe 1 or 2; if it's a bit more, go for 2 to 4; for heavy jobs, consider 4 or more.

Storage & OS Image: Choose the storage size and OS image for the Vm creation.
