Adding a Backend Server Group
Function
This API is used to add a backend server group. After multiple backend servers are added to a backend server group, requests are distributed among backend servers based on the load balancing algorithm configured for the backend server group and the weight set for each backend server.
Constraints
- If parameter session-persistence is configured, parameter cookie_name is available only when the value of type is APP_COOKIE.

Type |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
pool |
Yes |
Object |
Specifies the backend server group. For details, see Table 2. |
Parameter |
Mandatory |
Type |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
tenant_id |
No |
String |
Specifies the ID of the project where the backend server group is used. The value must be the same as the value of project_id in the token. The value contains a maximum of 255 characters. |
name |
No |
String |
Specifies the name of the backend server group. The value contains a maximum of 255 characters. |
description |
No |
String |
Provides supplementary information about the backend server group. The value contains a maximum of 255 characters. |
protocol |
Yes |
String |
Specifies the protocol that the backend server group uses to receive requests. TCP, UDP, and HTTP are supported. When a backend server group is associated with a listener, the relationships between the protocol used by the listener and the protocol of the backend server group are as follows:
|
lb_algorithm |
Yes |
String |
Specifies the load balancing algorithm of the backend server group.
The value can be one of the following:
When the value is SOURCE_IP, the weights of backend servers in the server group are invalid. |
admin_state_up |
No |
Boolean |
Specifies the administrative status of the backend server group. This parameter is reserved, and the default value is true. |
listener_id |
No |
String |
Specifies the ID of the listener associated with the backend server group. Specify either listener_id or loadbalancer_id, or both of them. |
loadbalancer_id |
No |
String |
Specifies the ID of the load balancer associated with the backend server group. Specify either listener_id or loadbalancer_id, or both of them. |
session_persistence |
No |
Object |
Specifies the sticky session timeout duration in minutes. For details, see Table 3. If the value is null, the sticky session feature is disabled. |
Parameter |
Mandatory |
Type |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
type |
Yes |
String |
Specifies the sticky session type.
The value can be one of the following:
When the protocol of the backend server group is TCP, only SOURCE_IP takes effect. When the protocol of the backend server group is HTTP, only HTTP_COOKIE or APP_COOKIE takes effect. |
cookie_name |
No |
String |
Specifies the cookie name. This parameter is mandatory when the sticky session type is APP_COOKIE. |
persistence_timeout |
No |
Integer |
Specifies the sticky session timeout duration in minutes. This parameter is invalid when type is set to APP_COOKIE.
The value range varies depending on the protocol of the backend server group:
