Using OpenStack Dashboard with LBaaS
The OpenStack Dashboard has the ability to view, create and edit load balancers, add Virtual IPs (VIPs), and add nodes to be behind a load balancer. The dashboard also provides an interface for creating the HA Proxy server load balance service for our instances. We do this first by creating load balancing pool and then adding running instances to those pools.
In this section, we will use two instances running Apache. We will create a HTTP load balancing pool, create a VIP, and configure instances to be part of the pool. The result will be an ability to use the HTTP load balancer pool address to send traffic to two instances running Apache.
