Creating a Backend Server Group
Function
This API is used to create a backend server group.
Constraints
Note the following when you create a backend server group:
If session-persistence is specified, cookie_name is available only when type is set to APP_COOKIE.
If listener_id is specified, the listener must have no backend server group associated.
Calling Method
For details, see Calling APIs.
URI
POST /v3/{project_id}/elb/pools
Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
project_id | Yes | String | Specifies the project ID. |
Request Parameters
Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|

Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
pool | Yes | CreatePoolOption object | Specifies the request body for creating a backend server group. |
Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
admin_state_up | No | Boolean | Specifies the administrative status of the backend server group. The value can only be true. |
description | No | String | Provides supplementary information about the backend server group. |
lb_algorithm | Yes | String | Specifies the load balancing algorithm used by the load balancer to route requests to backend servers in the associated backend server group. Value options:
Multiple algorithms can be queried in the format of lb_algorithm=xxx&lb_algorithm=xxx. |
listener_id | No | String | Specifies the ID of the listener with which the backend server group is associated. Specify either listener_id or loadbalancer_id, or both of them. Specify either listener_id or loadbalancer_id for shared loadbalancer. |

Note:
|
session_persistence | No | Specifies the sticky session. | |
slow_start | No | CreatePoolSlowStartOption object | Specifies slow start details. After you enable slow start, new backend servers added to the backend server group are warmed up, and the number of requests they can receive increases linearly during the configured slow start duration. Note: This parameter can be used when the protocol of the backend server group is HTTP or HTTPS. |
member_deletion_protection_enable | No | Boolean | Specifies whether to enable removal protection. Value options:
NOTE: Disable removal protection for all your resources before deleting your account. |

Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
cookie_name | No | String | Specifies the cookie name. Note:
Value ranges: |
type | Yes | String | Specifies the sticky session type. The value can be SOURCE_IP, HTTP_COOKIE, or APP_COOKIE. Note: |
persistence_timeout | No | Integer | Specifies the stickiness duration, in minutes. This parameter will not take effect when type is set to APP_COOKIE. Value ranges:
|
Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
enable | No | Boolean | Specifies whether to enable slow start.
|
duration | No | Integer | Specifies the slow start duration, in seconds. The value ranges from 30 to 1200, and the default value is 30. |
