Load Balancers Support Articles

Health checks often fail due to firewalls or misconfigured backend server software.

Edit the ConfigMap which nginx uses to enable PROXY protocol.

By default, load balancers time out after the connection has been idle for 60 seconds. You can customize the timeout duration.

Load balancers return 503 errors when there are either no Droplets assigned to them or all of the assigned Droplets are unhealthy.

Your load balancer may be down or not directing traffic to the target Droplet.

You can configure load balancers that are provisioned by DOKS using Kubernetes service annotations.

Kubernetes service ’externaltrafficpolicy’ field controls how nodes respond to health checks.

Enable PROXY protocol support on your Droplets.
