Bootstrap Oracle Cloud Load Balancing

When building and deploying applications to the cloud you want to ensure that most of the actions required to add a node or remove a node from your cluster are automated. Taking manual actions should be prevented as much as possible to ensure your environment can scale automatically.

As load balancing is a important part of most environments deployed currently it is important to understand how you can automate the process of node registration and de-registration in your loadbalancer.

Using the SDK or the REST APIs for your loadbalancer and ensure your bootstrap logic takes into account the needed actions to register the new node will make sure your application will be able to scale more automatically.

More information on automating the Oracle Cloud Load balancing services can be found on my personal weblog in this article.
