NodeBalancer Create
Creates a NodeBalancer in the requested Region. Only available in
Regions with “NodeBalancers” in their capabilities
.
NodeBalancers require a port Config with at least one backend Node to start serving requests.
When using the Linode CLI to create a NodeBalancer, first create a NodeBalancer without any Configs. Then, create Configs and Nodes for that NodeBalancer with the respective Config Create and Node Create commands.

NodeBalancer Delete
Deletes a NodeBalancer.
This is a destructive action and cannot be undone.
Deleting a NodeBalancer will also delete all associated Configs and Nodes, although the backend servers represented by the Nodes will not be changed or removed. Deleting a NodeBalancer will cause you to lose access to the IP Addresses assigned to this NodeBalancer.

Configs List
Returns a paginated list of NodeBalancer Configs associated with this NodeBalancer. NodeBalancer Configs represent individual ports that this NodeBalancer will accept traffic on, one Config per port.
For example, if you wanted to accept standard HTTP traffic, you would need a Config listening on port 80.

Default:
none The type of check to perform against backends to ensure they are serving requests. This is used to determine if backends are up or down.
|
check_attempts | integer
1..30Default:
3 How many times to attempt a check before considering a backend to be down. |
check_body | string This value must be present in the response body of the check in order for it to pass. If this value is not present in the response body of a check request, the backend is considered to be down. |
check_interval | integer Default:
31 How often, in seconds, to check that backends are up and serving requests. Must be greater than |
check_passive | boolean Default:
true If true, any response from this backend with a |

30 How long, in seconds, to wait for a check attempt before considering it failed. Must be less than |
cipher_suite | string Enum:
recommended

Default:
recommended What ciphers to use for SSL connections served by this NodeBalancer.
|
port | integer
1..65535Default:
80 The port this Config is for. These values must be unique across configs on a single NodeBalancer (you can’t have two configs for port 80, for example). While some ports imply some protocols, no enforcement is done and you may configure your NodeBalancer however is useful to you. For example, while port 443 is generally used for HTTPS, you do not need SSL configured to have a NodeBalancer listening on port 443. |
protocol | string Enum:
http
https
tcp
Default:
http The protocol this port is configured to serve.
Review our guide on Available Protocols for information on protocol features. |
proxy_protocol | string Enum:
none
v1
v2
Default:
none ProxyProtocol is a TCP extension that sends initial TCP connection information such as source/destination IPs and ports to backend devices. This information would be lost otherwise. Backend devices must be configured to work with ProxyProtocol if enabled.
|
ssl_cert Nullable | string<ssl-cert> The PEM-formatted public SSL certificate (or the combined PEM-formatted SSL certificate and Certificate Authority chain) that should be served on this NodeBalancerConfig’s port. Line breaks must be represented as “\n” in the string for requests (but not when using the Linode CLI). Diffie-Hellman Parameters can be included in this value to enable forward secrecy. The contents of this field will not be shown in any responses that display
the NodeBalancerConfig. Instead, The read-only |

algorithm | string Enum:
roundrobin
leastconn
source
Default:
roundrobin What algorithm this NodeBalancer should use for routing traffic to backends. | ||||
check | string Enum:
none
connection
http
http_body
Default:
none The type of check to perform against backends to ensure they are serving requests. This is used to determine if backends are up or down.
| ||||
check_attempts | integer
1..30Default:
3 How many times to attempt a check before considering a backend to be down. | ||||
check_body | string This value must be present in the response body of the check in order for it to pass. If this value is not present in the response body of a check request, the backend is considered to be down. | ||||
check_interval | integer Default:
31 How often, in seconds, to check that backends are up and serving requests. Must be greater than | ||||
check_passive | boolean Default:
true If true, any response from this backend with a | ||||
check_path | string The URL path to check on each backend. If the backend does not respond to this request it is considered to be down. | ||||
check_timeout | integer
1..30Default:
30 How long, in seconds, to wait for a check attempt before considering it failed. Must be less than | ||||
cipher_suite | string Enum:
recommended
legacy
Default:
recommended What ciphers to use for SSL connections served by this NodeBalancer.
| ||||
id | integer This config’s unique ID | ||||
nodebalancer_id | integer The ID for the NodeBalancer this config belongs to. | ||||
nodes_status | object A structure containing information about the health of the backends for this port. This information is updated periodically as checks are performed against backends.
| ||||
port | integer
1..65535Default:
80 The port this Config is for. These values must be unique across configs on a single NodeBalancer (you can’t have two configs for port 80, for example). While some ports imply some protocols, no enforcement is done and you may configure your NodeBalancer however is useful to you. For example, while port 443 is generally used for HTTPS, you do not need SSL configured to have a NodeBalancer listening on port 443. | ||||
protocol | string Enum:
http
https
tcp
Default:
http The protocol this port is configured to serve.

none ProxyProtocol is a TCP extension that sends initial TCP connection information such as source/destination IPs and ports to backend devices. This information would be lost otherwise. Backend devices must be configured to work with ProxyProtocol if enabled.
