Common patterns
Deploy an HTTP(S) load balancer
A GCP infrastructure pattern, deployed with formae.
A complete global external Application Load Balancer. One forma reserves a
global static IP, defines a health check and a backend service, and wires a URL
map, an HTTP target proxy, and a global forwarding rule so traffic entering on
the static IP is routed through to the backend service.
Deploy. Apply the example forma. formae orders the resources by their
dependencies automatically, so the health check comes up before the backend
service, the URL map before the proxy, and the forwarding rule last:
Verify. Once the command completes, the stack’s resources are under
management:
Tear down. Remove everything the forma created:
The full forma is in the
gcp-loadbalancer example.
