Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Compute V1 API module Google::Cloud::Compute::V1::Backend::BalancingMode.
Specifies how to determine whether the backend of a load balancer can handle additional traffic or is fully loaded. For usage guidelines, see Connection balancing mode. Backends must use compatible balancing modes. For more information, see Supported balancing modes and target capacity settings and Restrictions and guidance for instance groups. Note: Currently, if you use the API to configure incompatible balancing modes, the configuration might be accepted even though it has no impact and is ignored. Specifically, Backend.maxUtilization is ignored when Backend.balancingMode is RATE. In the future, this incompatible combination will be rejected.
Constants
UNDEFINED_BALANCING_MODE
value: 0 A value indicating that the enum field is not set.
CONNECTION
value: 246_311_646 Balance based on the number of simultaneous connections.
CUSTOM_METRICS
value: 331_575_765 Based on custom defined and reported metrics.
RATE
value: 2_508_000 Balance based on requests per second (RPS).
UTILIZATION
value: 157_008_386 Balance based on the backend utilization.
