Bamboozle Cloud Engine

Load Balancers

Deploy fully configured and managed load balancers rapidly for easy load distribution between Virtual Servers.

How a Bamboozle load balancer distributes traffic Requests from the internet reach a floating IP, the load balancer spreads them across three virtual machines and runs health checks on each one. Internet Floating IP Load Balancer VM 1 VM 2 VM 3 Health checks: HTTP · TCP · PING

Key Capabilities

What It Does

Built into Bamboozle Cloud Engine — available in all three regions, managed from Cloud Control.

  • Layer 4 & Layer 7 Balancing

    Support for HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP forwarding rules. Route traffic at the transport or application layer — with SSL termination for HTTPS workloads and SSL passthrough for end-to-end encryption.

  • High Availability Active-Backup

    Enable high availability mode to deploy two load balancer instances in active-backup configuration. If the active instance fails, the standby takes over automatically — no manual intervention.

  • Balancing Algorithms

    Choose from three algorithms: Round Robin (equal distribution), Least Connections (route to the least busy VM), or Source IP (sticky routing based on client IP). Combine with session persistence for stateful applications.

  • Health Monitoring

    Automatic health checks remove unhealthy members from the balancing pool after three consecutive failures. Members are re-added automatically when they recover. Health check interval and thresholds are fully configurable.

  • Floating IP Integration

    Assign a floating IP to your load balancer to expose services to the public internet. The floating IP can be reassigned instantly for zero-downtime failover or migration.

  • Allowed CIDRs

    Restrict which source IP ranges can reach each balancing pool. Lock access down to specific networks, partner ranges, or office subnets — without additional firewall rules.

Supported Configurations

What We Balance

  • Session persistence (sticky cookies)
  • Round Robin distribution
  • Least Connections distribution
  • Source IP affinity
  • Multi-pool load balancers

  • High-availability active-backup
  • Public-facing via Floating IP
  • Internal private network balancing

Getting Started

How It Works

All networking features are self-service — available in Cloud Control in minutes.

  1. Create Load Balancer

    From the Bamboozle Cloud Control portal, create a load balancer on your chosen virtual network. Enable high availability for active-backup redundancy.

  2. Add Balancing Pool

    Define a forwarding rule (HTTP, HTTPS, TCP), select the balancing algorithm, configure session persistence, and set health monitor parameters.

  3. Add VMs as Members

    Add virtual machines to the pool. Each VM must have a fixed private IP on the same network. A VM can be a member of multiple pools simultaneously.

  4. Assign Floating IP

    Attach a floating IP to expose the load balancer publicly. Traffic from the internet is distributed across all healthy pool members immediately.
