# 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](/docs/en/loadbalancer-procedure) and [glossary](/docs/en/loadbalancer-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](/docs/en/subaccount-overview), [Certificate Manager user guide](/docs/en/security-security-15-1), [Cloud Log Analytics user guide](/docs/en/cla-overview), [Object Storage user guide](/docs/en/storage-storage-6-1), [Global DNS user guide](/docs/en/networking-networking-12-1), [Global CDN user guide](/docs/en/networking-networking-7-1), and [CDN+ user guide](/docs/en/networking-networking-8-1).

## Preliminary task

1. **Create a VPC, Network ACL, and Subnet, and configure Network ACL rules** Create a VPC, Network ACL, and Subnet, and configure Network ACL rules in **Networking > VPC** in the NAVER Cloud Platform console. For more information, see the [VPC user guide](/docs/en/networking-vpc-vpcoverview).
2. **Create ACGs and servers, and configure ACGs** Create ACGs and servers, and configure ACGs in **Compute > Server** in the NAVER Cloud Platform console. For more information, see the [Server user guide](/docs/en/compute-server-virtualmachineserver-overview).
3. **Register an external certificate** Register an external certificate only when you create a Load Balancer using the HTTPS or SSL protocol. Register the external certificate in **Security > Certificate Manager** in the NAVER Cloud Platform console. For more information, see the [Certificate Manager user guide](/docs/en/security-security-15-1).

## Create a Target Group

To use Load Balancer in the NAVER Cloud Platform, you must first create a Target Group.

To create a Target Group:

              Caution

              

This section provides a brief overview of how to create a Target Group. For more information, see the [Target Group creation guide](/docs/en/loadbalancer-targetgroup-vpc).

1. Access the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. Click  the **Region and Platform** button at the top right of the console interface.
3. Select your Region and platform and click **[Apply]**.
4. Click **Menu** at the top left of the console interface.
5. Click **Services** > **Networking** > **Load Balancer** in order.
6. Click the **Target Group** menu.
7. Click **[Create Target Group]**.
8. Enter the Target Group information.
  - Select the VPC that was created in the preliminary task.
9. Configure the Health Check.
10. Add targets.
11. Review the Target Group information and click **[Create Target Group]**.

## Create a Load Balancer

To create a Load Balancer:

              Caution

              

This section provides a brief overview of how to create a Load Balancer. For more information, see [Application Load Balancer creation guide](/docs/en/loadbalancer-application-vpc#ApplicationLoadBalancer%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1), [Network Load Balancer creation guide](/docs/en/loadbalancer-network-vpc#NetworkLoadBalancer%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1%EA%B0%80%EC%9D%B4%EB%93%9C), or [Network Proxy Load Balancer creation guide](/docs/en/loadbalancer-proxylb-vpc#NetworkProxyLoadBalancer%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1%EA%B0%80%EC%9D%B4%EB%93%9C) depending on the type of Load Balancer.

1. In the VPC environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Networking** > **Load Balancer**.
2. Click **[Create Load Balancer]**.
3. Click the Create button for the Load Balancer type to create.
4. Enter the Load Balancer information.
  - Select the Subnet created in the preliminary task.
5. Configure and add a Listener.
6. Select a Target Group.
7. Review the Load Balancer information and click **[Create Load Balancer]**.

              Caution

              

If you add the **HTTPS** or **TLS** protocol in step 5, select the external certificate registered in the preliminary task and configure the Certificate before proceeding to step 6.
