Service

General¶

Each of the fields of the service section represents a kind of service. Which means, that for each specified service, one of the fields, and only one, has to be enabled to define what kind of service is created. Currently, the available kind is LoadBalancer.

Servers Load Balancer¶

The servers load balancer is in charge of balancing the requests between the servers of the same service.

Servers¶

The Servers field defines all the servers that are part of this load-balancing group, i.e. each address (IP:Port) on which an instance of the service's program is deployed.

Configuration Example¶

A Service with One Server -- Using the File Provider

Structured (YAML)

## Dynamic configuration
udp:
  services:
    my-service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"

Structured (TOML)

## Dynamic configuration
[udp.services]
  [udp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
    [[udp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
      address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
