googleComputeBackendService

A Backend Service defines a group of virtual machines that will serve traffic for load balancing. This resource is a global backend service, appropriate for external load balancing or self-managed internal load balancing. For managed internal load balancing, use a regional backend service instead.

Currently self-managed internal load balancing is only available in beta.

To get more information about BackendService, see:

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Required) Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [aZ]([AZ09]*[aZ09])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

  • affinityCookieTtlSec - (Optional) Lifetime of cookies in seconds if session_affinity is GENERATED_COOKIE. If set to 0, the cookie is non-persistent and lasts only until the end of the browser session (or equivalent). The maximum allowed value for TTL is one day. When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL, this field is not used.

  • backend - (Optional) The set of backends that serve this BackendService. Structure is documented below.

  • circuitBreakers - (Optional) Settings controlling the volume of connections to a backend service. This field is applicable only when the load_balancing_scheme is set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. Structure is documented below.

  • compressionMode - (Optional) Compress text responses using Brotli or gzip compression, based on the client's Accept-Encoding header. Possible values are automatic and disabled.

  • consistentHash - (Optional) Consistent Hash-based load balancing can be used to provide soft session affinity based on HTTP headers, cookies or other properties. This load balancing policy is applicable only for HTTP connections. The affinity to a particular destination host will be lost when one or more hosts are added/removed from the destination service. This field specifies parameters that control consistent hashing. This field only applies if the load_balancing_scheme is set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. This field is only applicable when locality_lb_policy is set to MAGLEV or RING_HASH. Structure is documented below.

  • cdnPolicy - (Optional) Cloud CDN configuration for this BackendService. Structure is documented below.

  • connectionDrainingTimeoutSec - (Optional) Time for which instance will be drained (not accept new connections, but still work to finish started).

  • customRequestHeaders - (Optional) Headers that the HTTP/S load balancer should add to proxied requests.

  • customResponseHeaders - (Optional) Headers that the HTTP/S load balancer should add to proxied responses.

  • description - (Optional) An optional description of this resource.

  • enableCdn - (Optional) If true, enable Cloud CDN for this BackendService.

  • healthChecks - (Optional) The set of URLs to the HttpHealthCheck or HttpsHealthCheck resource for health checking this BackendService. Currently at most one health check can be specified. A health check must be specified unless the backend service uses an internet or serverless NEG as a backend. For internal load balancing, a URL to a HealthCheck resource must be specified instead.

  • iap - (Optional) Settings for enabling Cloud Identity Aware Proxy Structure is documented below.

  • loadBalancingScheme - (Optional) Indicates whether the backend service will be used with internal or external load balancing. A backend service created for one type of load balancing cannot be used with the other. For more information, refer to Choosing a load balancer. Default value is external. Possible values are external, internalSelfManaged, and externalManaged.

  • localityLbPolicy - (Optional) The load balancing algorithm used within the scope of the locality. The possible values are:

    • roundRobin: This is a simple policy in which each healthy backend is selected in round robin order.
    • leastRequest: An O(1) algorithm which selects two random healthy hosts and picks the host which has fewer active requests.
    • ringHash: The ring/modulo hash load balancer implements consistent hashing to backends. The algorithm has the property that the addition/removal of a host from a set of N hosts only affects 1/N of the requests.
    • random: The load balancer selects a random healthy host.
    • originalDestination: Backend host is selected based on the client connection metadata, i.e., connections are opened to the same address as the destination address of the incoming connection before the connection was redirected to the load balancer.
    • maglev: used as a drop in replacement for the ring hash load balancer. Maglev is not as stable as ring hash but has faster table lookup build times and host selection times. For more information about Maglev, refer to https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub44824
    • weightedMaglev: Per-instance weighted Load Balancing via health check reported weights. If set, the Backend Service must configure a non legacy HTTP-based Health Check, and health check replies are expected to contain non-standard HTTP response header field X-Load-Balancing-Endpoint-Weight to specify the per-instance weights. If set, Load Balancing is weight based on the per-instance weights reported in the last processed health check replies, as long as every instance either reported a valid weight or had UNAVAILABLE_WEIGHT. Otherwise, Load Balancing remains equal-weight.

    This field is applicable to either:

    • A regional backend service with the service_protocol set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2, and loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_MANAGED.
    • A global backend service with the load_balancing_scheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.
    • A regional backend service with loadBalancingScheme set to EXTERNAL (External Network Load Balancing). Only MAGLEV and WEIGHTED_MAGLEV values are possible for External Network Load Balancing. The default is MAGLEV.

    If session_affinity is not NONE, and this field is not set to MAGLEV, WEIGHTED_MAGLEV, or RING_HASH, session affinity settings will not take effect. Only ROUND_ROBIN and RING_HASH are supported when the backend service is referenced by a URL map that is bound to target gRPC proxy that has validate_for_proxyless field set to true. Possible values are roundRobin, leastRequest, ringHash, random, originalDestination, maglev, and weightedMaglev.

  • localityLbPolicies - (Optional) A list of locality load balancing policies to be used in order of preference. Either the policy or the customPolicy field should be set. Overrides any value set in the localityLbPolicy field. localityLbPolicies is only supported when the BackendService is referenced by a URL Map that is referenced by a target gRPC proxy that has the validateForProxyless field set to true. Structure is documented below.

  • outlierDetection - (Optional) Settings controlling eviction of unhealthy hosts from the load balancing pool. This field is applicable only when the load_balancing_scheme is set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. Structure is documented below.

  • portName - (Optional) Name of backend port. The same name should appear in the instance groups referenced by this service. Required when the load balancing scheme is EXTERNAL.

  • protocol - (Optional) The protocol this BackendService uses to communicate with backends. The default is HTTP. NOTE: HTTP2 is only valid for beta HTTP/2 load balancer types and may result in errors if used with the GA API. Possible values are http, https, http2, tcp, ssl, and grpc.

  • securityPolicy - (Optional) The security policy associated with this backend service.

  • edgeSecurityPolicy - (Optional) The resource URL for the edge security policy associated with this backend service.

  • securitySettings - (Optional) The security settings that apply to this backend service. This field is applicable to either a regional backend service with the service_protocol set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2, and load_balancing_scheme set to INTERNAL_MANAGED; or a global backend service with the load_balancing_scheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. Structure is documented below.

  • sessionAffinity - (Optional) Type of session affinity to use. The default is NONE. Session affinity is not applicable if the protocol is UDP. Possible values are none, clientIp, clientIpPortProto, clientIpProto, generatedCookie, headerField, and httpCookie.

  • timeoutSec - (Optional) How many seconds to wait for the backend before considering it a failed request. Default is 30 seconds. Valid range is [1, 86400].

  • logConfig - (Optional) This field denotes the logging options for the load balancer traffic served by this backend service. If logging is enabled, logs will be exported to Stackdriver. Structure is documented below.

  • project - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs. If it is not provided, the provider project is used.

The backend block supports:

  • balancingMode - (Optional) Specifies the balancing mode for this backend. For global HTTP(S) or TCP/SSL load balancing, the default is UTILIZATION. Valid values are UTILIZATION, RATE (for HTTP(S)) and CONNECTION (for TCP/SSL). See the Backend Services Overview for an explanation of load balancing modes. Default value is utilization. Possible values are utilization, rate, and connection.

  • capacityScaler - (Optional) A multiplier applied to the group's maximum servicing capacity (based on UTILIZATION, RATE or CONNECTION). Default value is 1, which means the group will serve up to 100% of its configured capacity (depending on balancingMode). A setting of 0 means the group is completely drained, offering 0% of its available Capacity. Valid range is [0.0,1.0].

  • description - (Optional) An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

  • group - (Required) The fully-qualified URL of an Instance Group or Network Endpoint Group resource. In case of instance group this defines the list of instances that serve traffic. Member virtual machine instances from each instance group must live in the same zone as the instance group itself.

All endpoints of Network Endpoint Group must be hosted on instances located in the same zone as the Network Endpoint Group. Backend services cannot mix Instance Group and Network Endpoint Group backends. Note that you must specify an Instance Group or Network Endpoint Group resource using the fully-qualified URL, rather than a partial URL.

  • maxConnections - (Optional) The max number of simultaneous connections for the group. Can be used with either CONNECTION or UTILIZATION balancing modes.

This field should only be populated when the customPolicy field is not used. Note that specifying the same policy more than once for a backend is not a valid configuration and will be rejected. The possible values are:
  • roundRobin: This is a simple policy in which each healthy backend is selected in round robin order.
  • leastRequest: An O(1) algorithm which selects two random healthy hosts and picks the host which has fewer active requests.
  • ringHash: The ring/modulo hash load balancer implements consistent hashing to backends. The algorithm has the property that the addition/removal of a host from a set of N hosts only affects 1/N of the requests.
  • random: The load balancer selects a random healthy host.
  • originalDestination: Backend host is selected based on the client connection metadata, i.e., connections are opened to the same address as the destination address of the incoming connection before the connection was redirected to the load balancer.
  • maglev: used as a drop in replacement for the ring hash load balancer. Maglev is not as stable as ring hash but has faster table lookup build times and host selection times. For more information about Maglev, refer to https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub44824 Possible values are roundRobin, leastRequest, ringHash, random, originalDestination, and maglev.

The customPolicy block supports:

  • name - (Required) Identifies the custom policy. The value should match the type the custom implementation is registered with on the gRPC clients. It should follow protocol buffer message naming conventions and include the full path (e.g. myorg.CustomLbPolicy). The maximum length is 256 characters. Note that specifying the same custom policy more than once for a backend is not a valid configuration and will be rejected.

  • data - (Optional) An optional, arbitrary JSON object with configuration data, understood by a locally installed custom policy implementation.

The outlierDetection block supports:

  • baseEjectionTime - (Optional) The base time that a host is ejected for. The real time is equal to the base time multiplied by the number of times the host has been ejected. Defaults to 30000ms or 30s. Structure is documented below.

  • consecutiveErrors - (Optional) Number of errors before a host is ejected from the connection pool. When the backend host is accessed over HTTP, a 5xx return code qualifies as an error. Defaults to 5.

  • consecutiveGatewayFailure - (Optional) The number of consecutive gateway failures (502, 503, 504 status or connection errors that are mapped to one of those status codes) before a consecutive gateway failure ejection occurs. Defaults to 5.

  • enforcingConsecutiveErrors - (Optional) The percentage chance that a host will be actually ejected when an outlier status is detected through consecutive 5xx. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 100.

  • enforcingConsecutiveGatewayFailure - (Optional) The percentage chance that a host will be actually ejected when an outlier status is detected through consecutive gateway failures. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 0.

  • enforcingSuccessRate - (Optional) The percentage chance that a host will be actually ejected when an outlier status is detected through success rate statistics. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 100.

  • interval - (Optional) Time interval between ejection sweep analysis. This can result in both new ejections as well as hosts being returned to service. Defaults to 10 seconds. Structure is documented below.

  • maxEjectionPercent - (Optional) Maximum percentage of hosts in the load balancing pool for the backend service that can be ejected. Defaults to 10%.

  • successRateMinimumHosts - (Optional) The number of hosts in a cluster that must have enough request volume to detect success rate outliers. If the number of hosts is less than this setting, outlier detection via success rate statistics is not performed for any host in the cluster. Defaults to 5.

  • successRateRequestVolume - (Optional) The minimum number of total requests that must be collected in one interval (as defined by the interval duration above) to include this host in success rate based outlier detection. If the volume is lower than this setting, outlier detection via success rate statistics is not performed for that host. Defaults to 100.

  • successRateStdevFactor - (Optional) This factor is used to determine the ejection threshold for success rate outlier ejection. The ejection threshold is the difference between the mean success rate, and the product of this factor and the standard deviation of the mean success rate: mean - (stdev * success_rate_stdev_factor). This factor is divided by a thousand to get a double. That is, if the desired factor is 1.9, the runtime value should be 1900. Defaults to 1900.

The baseEjectionTime block supports:

  • seconds - (Required) Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive.

  • nanos - (Optional) Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive nanos field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

The interval block supports:

  • seconds - (Required) Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive.

  • nanos - (Optional) Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive nanos field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

The securitySettings block supports:

  • clientTlsPolicy - (Required) ClientTlsPolicy is a resource that specifies how a client should authenticate connections to backends of a service. This resource itself does not affect configuration unless it is attached to a backend service resource.

  • subjectAltNames - (Required) A list of alternate names to verify the subject identity in the certificate. If specified, the client will verify that the server certificate's subject alt name matches one of the specified values.

The logConfig block supports:

  • enable - (Optional) Whether to enable logging for the load balancer traffic served by this backend service.

  • sampleRate - (Optional) This field can only be specified if logging is enabled for this backend service. The value of the field must be in [0, 1]. This configures the sampling rate of requests to the load balancer where 1.0 means all logged requests are reported and 0.0 means no logged requests are reported. The default value is 1.0.
