Release Note

You can now scale load balancers with more granularity by adding or removing nodes. The number of nodes a load balancer contains determines how many simultaneous connections and requests per second it can manage.

Each additional node increases the load balancer’s maximum:

• Requests per second, up to 10,000
• Simultaneous connections, up to 10,000
• New SSL connections per second by 250 (or 50 for certificates using 4096-bit RSA keys)

You can add up to 200 nodes to a load balancer if your account limits allow it. To request a limit increase, contact support.
