Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) is a load balancer running at the network layer. GWLB instances enable you to deploy, scale, and manage third-party virtual devices. This document describes how to quickly create a GWLB instance and forward access requests from the public network to the real server.
Prerequisites
Step 1: Purchasing a GWLB Instance
After a GWLB instance is successfully purchased, the system will automatically assign it with a VIP address, which is the IP address for the GWLB instance to provide services for clients.
1. Log in to Tencent Cloud and go to the GWLB purchase page.
2. On the GWLB purchase page, select relevant configurations. For parameter details, see Purchase Methods.
3. Click Buy Now to complete payment.
4. Return to the Instance Management page and select the corresponding region to view the created instance.
Step 2: Creating a Target Group
1. Log in to the GWLB console and select Target Group Management under the GWLB directory.
2. On the GWLB management page, click Create to complete the creation of a target group. For details, see Creating a Target Group.
3. Add the CVMs deployed with third-party virtual devices to the target group.
Step 3: Binding a Target Group
1. Log in to the GWLB console and select Instance Management under the GWLB directory.
2. On the GWLB instance management page, select the corresponding region and click the instance ID to enter the GWLB instance details page.
3. On the Listener Management tab, click Bind Target Group.
4. Select the created target group in the dropdown list and click Confirm.
Step 4: Creating and Binding Related Services
