Function

This API is used to query all available load balancer flavors in a specific region. You can specify these Layer 4 or Layer 7 flavors when creating a dedicated load balancer.

Constraints

This API has the following constraints:

Parameters marker, limit, and page_reverse are used for pagination query.
Parameters marker and page_reverse take effect only when they are used together with parameter limit.

category	No	Array of integers	Definition: Specifies the AZ category code. This parameter is used to identify the type of an edge AZ. Multiple categories can be used for query in the format of category=xxx&category=xxx. Constraints: N/A Range: 0 (central AZs), 21 (HomeZones AZs), and 41 (edge AZs) Default value: N/A
list_all	No	Boolean	Definition: Whether to query all the maximum elastic flavors of a specific user. Constraints: N/A Range: true: All the maximum elastic flavors defined by l4_elastic_max and l7_elastic_max are returned. false: Only the largest elastic flavors will be returned. For Layer 4 load balancers, the flavor with highest cps value is returned. If the cps values are the same, the flavor with highest bandwidth value is returned. For Layer 7 load balancers, the flavor with highest https_cps value is returned. If the https_cps values are the same, the flavor with highest qps value is returned. Default value: N/A
flavor_sold_out	No	Boolean	Specifies whether load balancers of this flavor are unavailable. true indicates load balancers of this flavor are unavailable. false indicates load balancers of this flavor are available.
