External Load Balancers and Improvements

New Features

External Load Balancers

Support for external load balancers has been added, allowing you to use your own load balancer infrastructure while still benefiting from LayerOps' orchestration capabilities.

Key benefits:

  • Use your existing load balancer infrastructure
  • Maintain full control over your networking setup
  • Seamless integration with LayerOps orchestration

How it works: You can add external load balancers either during environment creation or by editing existing environments. Simply provide the IP address of your load balancer.
