Getting started with Load Balancer

Available in VPC

Getting started with Load Balancer explains the Load Balancer user environment and specifications. You can review the overall quickstart and glossary, then learn what you need to do to use Load Balancer. Getting started with Load Balancer covers the following:

• Preliminary task
• Create a Target Group
• Create a Load Balancer

After completing the steps above, you have finished the basic process required to use Load Balancer. To manage and operate Load Balancer more efficiently, you can also perform the following tasks:

• Manage operation permissions using NAVER Cloud Platform's Sub Account
• Manage certificates using NAVER Cloud Platform's Certificate Manager
• Manage Load Balancer logs using NAVER Cloud Platform's Cloud Log Analytics
• Store Load Balancer logs permanently using NAVER Cloud Platform's Object Storage
• Register domains using NAVER Cloud Platform's Global DNS
• Deliver content using NAVER Cloud Platform's Global CDN and CDN+

These tasks must be requested and enabled in each respective service (Sub Account, Certificate Manager, Cloud Log Analytics, Object Storage, Global DNS, Global CDN, and CDN+) before use, and are not explained in detail in this guide. For detailed usage, see the Sub Account user guide, Certificate Manager user guide, Cloud Log Analytics user guide, Object Storage user guide, Global DNS user guide, Global CDN user guide, and CDN+ user guide.
