Load Balancer Node Profile¶
This parameter specifies which profile to apply to HAProxy load balancer nodes. Load balancers distribute traffic to cluster services and provide the entry point for both API and application access.
Requirements¶
- Must reference a valid DRP profile
- Profile must contain necessary HAProxy configuration
- Only applied to nodes with load-balancer role
- Network connectivity to all cluster nodes
Usage¶
The default profile is 'openshift-load-balancer' which configures:
# Network services balanced
- Kubernetes API (port 6443)
- Machine Config Server (port 22623)
- HTTP ingress (port 80)
- HTTPS ingress (port 443)
# Backend configurations
- api-server-6443: Round-robin with health checks
- ingress-router-80/443: Source-based balancing
Notes: - Load balancers are critical for cluster access - Multiple load balancers recommended for HA - Profile includes backend service definitions - Used in conjunction with openshift/role=load-balancer
