Yandex Application Load Balancer Reviews

Yandex Application Load Balancer Description

An Application Load Balancer operates at OSI Layer 7 and utilizes attributes from HTTP requests to effectively manage traffic distribution and to create or alter HTTP responses. Each interaction with your applications is logged, enabling you to review and analyze activity through the access logs of the load balancer. By distributing your cloud resources across multiple geographically diverse availability zones, you can ensure that your applications remain accessible even if one zone faces an outage. It is advisable to implement different load balancers tailored to the specific needs of various applications. When utilizing the Yandex Cloud framework to launch multiple applications, it is essential to set up both L4 and L7 load balancers for optimal service. Additionally, you can establish backends for new versions of your applications, allowing for dynamic load shifting within the HTTP router by adjusting the proportion of traffic directed to both old and new backends, thereby facilitating a smooth transition. This strategy not only enhances the robustness of your application deployments but also aids in managing resource efficiency effectively.
