Overview

What Load Balancer delivers

A concise product view for teams evaluating regulated production workloads.

Gewape Cloud Load Balancer distributes incoming traffic across healthy backends so applications can tolerate instance changes, maintenance, and failures more gracefully.

The service gives teams a managed entry point for web applications, APIs, TCP services, and Kubernetes workloads while keeping the traffic architecture inside the selected cloud region.

Higher availability

Health checks help remove unhealthy backends from service and restore them when ready.

Simpler service publishing

Expose applications through stable frontends while backend pools change behind the scenes.

TLS options

Centralise certificate handling and secure application traffic at the edge of the service.

Cloud workload integration

Use load balancing with virtual machines, Kubernetes services, and multi-tier applications.

Features

Key capabilities

High-level capabilities for building the service into larger cloud architectures without adding operational complexity.

HTTP and TCP traffic

Support common web, API, and network service patterns.

Health checks

Monitor backend availability and route traffic to healthy targets.

Backend pools

Add, remove, and rotate application backends as workloads scale or deploy.

TLS termination

Use certificates for secure application frontends.

Public and private patterns

Front internet-facing applications or internal services depending on architecture.

API and console management

Provision and manage load balancers through self-service workflows.

Use cases

Where teams use it

Common production patterns for enterprises, public sector platforms, and software teams moving workloads into sovereign regions.

Web and API tiers

Place multiple application servers behind one managed entry point.

Zero-downtime releases

Rotate backends during deployments while keeping traffic flowing.

Kubernetes ingress

Support container platform services that need stable traffic entry points.

Internal services

Balance private service traffic between application components.
