Vultr Load Balancers are bandwidth neutral. We only charge on bandwidth on the instances attached to the load balancer.
In the Vultr dashboard you will be able to assign and remove instances to a given Load Balancer.
You do not have to worry about managing Vultr Load Balancers. They are fully managed.
Vultr Load Balancers support TCP, HTTP, and HTTPS.
Unfortunately not. Load Balancers and attached instances must be in the same region.
Load balancers help:
Vultr provides Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) load balancers, which operate at the transport layer to efficiently route traffic based on IP address and port.
Yes. Vultr’s load balancer is a fully managed service, meaning the infrastructure, configuration, scaling, and monitoring are handled by Vultr.
By automatically redirecting traffic away from unhealthy instances to healthy ones, load balancers ensure your application remains online even if a backend server fails.
Yes. Vultr Load Balancers are compatible with any TCP or UDP-based application, including web servers, gaming servers, APIs, and database services.
Yes. Vultr Load Balancers include configurable health checks that monitor the status of your backend instances and ensure traffic is only routed to healthy ones.
Currently, Vultr Load Balancers do not support SSL termination. You'll need to manage SSL at the application or server level.
You can easily set up and configure a load balancer through the Vultr control panel or via API. The process includes selecting protocol, ports, health check type, and backend instances.
Yes. Load balancers allow you to add or remove backend servers as needed, enabling horizontal scaling to handle increased traffic.
Yes. Vultr Load Balancers monitor the health of backend servers and automatically reroute traffic in case of server failure, ensuring high availability.
Vultr Load Balancers are available in all Vultr regions, allowing you to deploy global infrastructure with region-specific routing.
While Vultr Load Balancers help distribute traffic, DDoS protection is handled at the infrastructure level. Vultr also offers optional DDoS mitigation services in select plans.
Vultr Load Balancers enable horizontal scaling and intelligent traffic distribution for microservices, ensuring resilient communication between services and seamless scaling during traffic surges or container orchestration events.
With availability across all Vultr regions, Vultr Load Balancers reduce edge latency by routing traffic to the closest healthy instance, enhancing end-user experience in globally distributed applications.
Vultr Load Balancers can be provisioned and managed via Vultr’s API, allowing integration into IaC workflows using tools like Terraform or Ansible for automated deployments and infrastructure version control.
Yes. By managing backend pools and health checks, Vultr Load Balancers can route a portion of traffic to new versions of your application, enabling safe and controlled deployment strategies such as blue-green or canary rollouts.
