Using Weighted Round Robin Backend Group

Using a Weighted Round Robin Algorithm in a Backend Group

Prerequisite

• The project's wallet balance must be greater than 0 (see how to top up a project's wallet).

• A ready-to-use Load Balancer must exist (see how to create a Load Balancer).

Instructions

You can configure a weighted Round Robin algorithm from within a Load Balancer's Backend Group. This can be done either when you first create the Backend Group or by editing it later.

Here are the steps:

1. Select the Algorithm

Choose the "Round Robin" algorithm.

In fact, all available algorithms support member weighting; they just differ in the logic used to prioritize members.

2. Set the Weight for Each Member

Assign a Weight to each member. Members with a higher weight will receive a proportionally larger share of the traffic.

That's all you need to do to use Weighted Round Robin.
