L'amministratore del cloud può sfruttare le risorse di VMware Avi Load Balancer per creare l'infrastruttura. È inoltre possibile utilizzare gli helper di allocazione per specificare la logica di allocazione per le risorse di Avi Load Balancer.

Prima di iniziare

Prima di iniziare con uno qualsiasi dei modelli di esempio, è necessario creare l'account cloud di Avi Load Balancer in Automation Assembler, creare un progetto e aggiungere la zona cloud. Per istruzioni, vedere Creazione di un account cloud di VMware Avi Load Balancer.

Modello LBaaS semplice

Questo modello di esempio mostra come creare un servizio virtuale, un pool e risorse IP virtuali con input minimi.

Tutte le risorse di Avi Load Balancer utilizzate in questo esempio fanno riferimento a costrutti di Avi Load Balancer che puntano al controller di Avi Load Balancer.

Nessuna macchina o server di cui viene eseguito il provisioning in questo modello. Si ottiene l'elenco dei server, che possono essere aggiornati continuamente.

Per impostazione predefinita, il modello è un pool vuoto, ma il modulo e l'input sono configurati in modo da poter immettere IP reali e viene creato un pool normale.

Modello LBaaS avanzato

Questo modello di esempio mostra come è possibile creare un servizio virtuale, un pool e risorse IP virtuali connesse a una rete esistente insieme a un helper di allocazione della zona cloud. Il pool è inoltre configurato con il monitoraggio dell'integrità HTTP del sistema.

Modello di server Web semplice

Questo modello di esempio mostra come creare un servizio virtuale, un pool, un IP virtuale e due risorse delle macchine virtuali del server Web connesse a una rete esistente. Il pool è configurato per monitorare la porta 80 utilizzando l'algoritmo Round Robin.

Questo modello mostra come è possibile creare un servizio virtuale, un pool e risorse IP virtuali connesse a una rete esistente insieme a un helper di allocazione della zona cloud. Inoltre, nel pool vengono creati e configurati un monitoraggio dell'integrità e un profilo di persistenza dell'applicazione. Infine, i gruppi di sicurezza vengono enumerati in base al tag e i server Web delle macchine virtuali vengono aggiunti a tale gruppo.
