Networking / Loadbalancer

Capabilities

Version:

ID	Title	Description
CCC.LB.CP01	Static Load Balancing	Employ load balancing algorithms that follow fixed rules, independent of the current server state.
CCC.LB.CP02	Dynamic Load Balancing	Employ load balancing algorithms that consider the current state of servers before distributing traffic. Load balancer adjusts traffic distribution in real-time based on the current server health, resource utilization, and traffic conditions.
CCC.LB.CP03	Layer 7 Routing	Providing distribution of incoming traffic based on the application layer or layer 7 (on ISO model) information. Some of the supported protocols on layer 7 are HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP/2, gRPC, and WebSockets.
CCC.LB.CP04	Layer 4 Routing	Providing distribution of incoming traffic based on the transport layer or layer 4 (on ISO model) information. It uses the combination of IP addresses and TCP/UDP port to distribute incoming traffic rather than inspecting the actual content of the packets.
CCC.LB.CP05	URL-Based Routing	Direct incoming requests to different backend resources based on the content of the request URL.
CCC.LB.CP06	HTTP Header-Based Routing	Direct incoming requests to different backend resources based on the values of HTTP headers.
CCC.LB.CP07	WebSocket Support	Ability to support web socket communication.
CCC.LB.CP08	Dual-stack Load Balancing	Ability to support traffic originated from both IPv4 and IPv6.
CCC.LB.CP09	Load Balancer Autoscaling	Ability for the load balancer to dynamically adjust its capacity in response to fluctuations in incoming traffic.
CCC.LB.CP10	Target Autoscaling	Ability for the load balancer to trigger scaling actions of the backend instances (targets) to handle fluctuations in incoming traffic.
CCC.LB.CP11	SSL/TLS Termination	Process of decrypting SSL or TLS encrypted traffic at the load balancer level rather than at the backend servers. This allows the load balancer to offload the decryption task from the backend servers.
CCC.LB.CP12	Target Health Checks	Ability to continuously perform health checks on backend backend targets in form of checking the response to HTTP request, TCP connection or checking other application-specific parameter
CCC.LB.CP13	Health Checks-based Target Removal	If the health check detects that a backend target is unhealthy the load balancer will remove that unhealthy target from its list of available backend instances. This ensures that traffic is no longer routed to the unhealthy target.
CCC.LB.CP14	Retries	Ability to retry delivery of failed requests to targets. The conditions under which the load balancer retries, how long to wait before retrying, and the maximum number of retries permitted are configurable.
CCC.LB.CP15	Session Affinity	Can configure subsequent requests from an initial client to be passed to the same target.
CCC.LB.CP16	URL Redirects	Redirect incoming traffic to a different URL or location.
CCC.LB.CP17	URL Rewrites	Rewrite URL paths before forwarding them to backend services.
CCC.LB.CP18	Custom Response	Ability to configure specific HTTP responses to be returned by the load balancer under defined conditions.
CCC.LB.CP19	Request and Response Header Transformations	Ability to modify HTTP headers of both incoming requests and outgoing responses.
CCC.LB.CP20	Traffic Splitting / Weighted Routing	Can distribute incoming traffic across multiple backend resources based on predefined weights or percentages (e.g., for canary deployments, A/B testing, blue-green deployments, or gradual traffic migrations).
CCC.LB.CP21	Traffic Mirroring	Can duplicate incoming network traffic and send it to a secondary destination for monitoring, analysis, or testing purposes.
CCC.LB.CP22	Rate Limiting / Throttling	Ability to limit the number of requests per second per client. This ensures that no single client or user overloads the backend servers, distributing requests fairly across multiple instances.
CCC.LB.CP23	Firewall Integration	Ability to seamlessly integrate with firewall services to ensure only legitimate and secure traffic reaches backend servers, blocking malicious requests.
