Reference documentation and code samples for the Network Services V1 API module Google::Cloud::NetworkServices::V1::ServiceLbPolicy::LoadBalancingAlgorithm.
The global load balancing algorithm to be used.
Constants
LOAD_BALANCING_ALGORITHM_UNSPECIFIED
value: 0 The type of the loadbalancing algorithm is unspecified.
SPRAY_TO_WORLD
value: 3 Balance traffic across all backends across the world proportionally based
on capacity.
SPRAY_TO_REGION
value: 4 Direct traffic to the nearest region with endpoints and capacity before
spilling over to other regions and spread the traffic from each client to
all the MIGs/NEGs in a region.
WATERFALL_BY_REGION
value: 5 Direct traffic to the nearest region with endpoints and capacity before
spilling over to other regions. All MIGs/NEGs within a region are evenly
loaded but each client might not spread the traffic to all the MIGs/NEGs
in the region.
WATERFALL_BY_ZONE
value: 6 Attempt to keep traffic in a single zone closest to the client, before
spilling over to other zones.
