Change Load Balancer Package (Resize)
The "Change Load Balancer Plan" feature is an important part of managing your Load Balancer. It allows you to customize and update service plans to suit both the financial and operational needs of a Load Balancer such as:
Increase or decrease Connection and Data Transfer to accommodate changing traffic loads.
Optimize the Load Balancer package configuration to suit actual needs after long-term use.
How to change Load Balancer package
Resize Load Balancer in 2 ways:
On the Load Balancer list screen: Click on the "three dots" icon at the end of each Load Balancer information row, a list of actions will appear, click on the "Resize" action
On the Load Balancer detail screen: Click on the "Resize" action in the upper right corner of the detail screen
After clicking "Resize", an interface window appears, including a list of available Load Balancer packages, click to select the package to use .
Check and Compare 2 Plans: After selecting a plan, users can compare the current plan information and the new plan in the information section on the right side of the pop-up window.
Confirm changes: Once you are sure, click the "Resize Load Balancer" button at the bottom right corner of the pop-up window to finish the Resize process.
Note
Some notes to know when performing Resize:
The Resize process will take a certain amount of time, so your Load Balancer will be interrupted during this time and will resume normal operation after the process is complete.
After successfully Resizing, users need to check the actual parameters/data of the Load Balancer in the Monitor tab, to ensure that the new Load Balancer package can meet actual usage needs.
Duplicate Load Balancer
The "Duplicate Load Balancer" feature is an important part of managing your Load Balancer. It allows you to create an exact copy of an existing Load Balancer to use for different purposes or to ensure redundancy of your system.
Why Duplicate Load Balancer?
There are several reasons why you might want to replicate a Load Balancer:
Ensure application redundancy and availability.
Create a test or development environment that does not affect the current application.
Create copies of tested and proven configurations to deploy to new applications.
How to Implement Duplicate Load Balancer
Resize Load Balancer in 2 ways:
On the Load Balancer list screen: Click on the "three dots" icon at the end of each Load Balancer information row, a list of actions will appear, click on the "Duplicate" action
On the Load Balancer details screen: Click on the "Duplicate" action in the upper right corner of the details screen
After clicking "Duplicate", an interface window appears allowing you to configure the necessary information, including:
Load Balancer Name

Listener Information: To suit actual usage needs, the Duplicate feature allows the editor to edit the Listener information when Duplicate as
Add/Delete/Edit Certificate, SNI for Listener
Remove unnecessary Listeners for the new Load Balancer
Check Load Balancer package information: Configuration information on the right side of the pop-up window
Confirm Duplicate: Once you are sure, click the "Duplicate Load Balancer" button at the bottom right corner of the pop-up window to finish the Duplicate process.
Note
A few things to know when performing Duplicate:
Duplicate ensures that the new Load Balancer is created with 100% exact configuration from the selected Load Balancer (unless the Load Balancer and Listener packages are changed).
Duplicate Load Balancer will take a certain amount of time, the more complex the configuration of the Load Balancer selected for Duplicate, the longer it will take to provide service.
