One Module = Two types of load balancers

Using one HostBill module for OnApp Load Balancers you can provision both Load balancing clusters and Virtual Machine Autoscaling load balancers supported by OnApp.

Watch Video

Client Load Balancer control

Your customer have full control over his load balancers using HostBill clientarea. No need to send user to OnApp interface with different login credentials.

Watch Video

Full control over nodes

Your customer can assign all virtual machines he created with you using Cloud or single vps products as load balancer nodes, no need to re-login.

Fully automated provisioning

Create products, set prices and relax - HostBill will handle load balancer provisioning for you

Watch Video

Autoscaling balancer control

Give your customer control over autoscaling rules for his Load Balancer within resources set by administrator in product configuration.

Load balancing clusters Virtual Machine Autoscaling

With this provisioning option, your client can specify which VMs (nodes) will participate in a load balancing cluster. Incoming traffic is distributed evenly between all the VMs added to a cluster – OnApp still present a single host name to end users, but they actually access the cluster of VMs rather than a single end point. This helps application availability: if one VM fails, traffic is automatically routed to another in the cluster. Your customer can add and remove cluster VMs as required.

Module settings explained

LoadBalancer type:	Set to Load balancing clusters
Default port:	Cluster will be intially configured with this port, your customer will be able to change it in clientarea
User Role:	Use "Get values from server" button to load possible values from your OnApp.
Max Port Speed (Rate):	Set maximum port speed cluster can offer
Show link to OnApp backend:	With this option set to "Yes" your client will be able to see link to OnApp interface in HostBill clientarea.

Sample config

VM Autoscaling increases or decreases your customer VM capacity by automatically adding or removing nodes to a cluster. The cluster is scaled in (decreased) or out (increased) based on rules your customer can specify in clientarea, based on limits set with options explained below. This aids application performance and scalability.

Module settings explained

LoadBalancer type:	Set to Virtual Machine Autoscaling
Default port:	Load balancer will be intially configured with this port, your customer will be able to change it in clientarea
User Role:	Use "Get values from server" button to load possible values from your OnApp.
Min node amount:	Minimal number of nodes in cluster
Max node amount:	Maximum number of nodes in cluster
Node Memory Limit [MB]:	Set the amount of memory allocated per node in MB.
Node CPU Limit:	The number CPUs which will form each node.
Node CPU Shares [%]:	The single node’s CPU priority.
Max Port Speed (Rate):	Set maximum port speed cluster can offer.
Show link to OnApp backend:	With this option set to "Yes" your client will be able to see link to OnApp interface in HostBill clientarea.
Backups/Templates:	Total number of backups customer can create for all nodes
Data sent /hour [GB]:	Total data sent per hour limit for customer
Data received /hour [GB]:	Total data received per hour limit for customer
Backup space [GB]:	Total disk space available for all customer backups
Node OS Template:	Next nodes will be created based on this image template

Release of module's first version

Note: You can find many How-To tutorials on our wiki at Category:OnApp

Q: When Virtual Machine Autoscaling will be fully supported by this module?
A: As soon as OnApp team will release version that supports required API calls for autoscaling it will be added to our module. Access to module updates is free
