Step 4: Create a Load Balancer
Creating a Load Balancer to configure network ports to access the application
Now that your DuploCloud Service is running, you have a mechanism to expose the containers and images in which your application resides. But because your containers are running inside a private network, you also need a load balancer to listen on the correct ports in order to access the application.
In this step, we add a Load Balancer Listener to complete this network configuration.
Estimated time to complete Step 4: 10 minutes.
Before creating a Load Balancer, verify that you accomplished the tasks in the previous tutorial steps. Using the DuploCloud Portal, confirm that:
An exist, both with the name you created.
The Infrastructure you created has .
A with the name you chose has been created.
Select the Tenant you created
In the Tenant list box, on the upper-left side of the DuploCloud Portal, select the Tenant that you created.
Creating a Load Balancer
All containers are running inside a private network and cannot be accessed from an external network. To do so one can create a load balancer.
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Kubernetes -> Services. The Services page displays.
From the Name column, click on the name of your Service
Click the Load Balancers tab.
Checking your work
From the DuploCloud portal, navigate to Kubernetes -> Services.
Click on the name of your Service.
Verify that the Load Balancer has a status of Ready on the LB Status card.
