This API is used to create a LoadBalancer. For details, see Quickly Create Load Balancers. The load balancing feature is in beta test. If you need to use it, contact us.

A maximum of 20 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

We recommend you to use API Explorer

Try it

API Explorer provides a range of capabilities, including online call, signature authentication, SDK code generation, and API quick search. It enables you to view the request, response, and auto-generated examples.

2. Input Parameters

The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.

Parameter Name	Required	Type	Description
Action	Yes	String	Common Params. The value used for this API: CreateLoadBalancer.
Version	Yes	String	Common Params. The value used for this API: 2022-09-01.
Region	No	String	Common Params. This parameter is not required.
ZoneId	Yes	String	Zone ID.
Name	Yes	String	LoadBalancer name, which can contain 1 to 200 characters, including a-z, A-Z, 0-9, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
Type	Yes	String	LoadBalancer type. Valid values: HTTP: HTTP-specific LoadBalancer. It supports adding HTTP-specific and general origin server groups. It can only be referenced by site acceleration services (such as domain name service and rule engine). GENERAL: general LoadBalancer. It only supports adding general origin server groups. It can be referenced by site acceleration services (such as domain name service and rule engine) and Layer-4 proxy.
OriginGroups.N	Yes	Array of OriginGroupInLoadBalancer	List of origin server groups and their corresponding disaster recovery scheduling priorities. For details, refer to Sample Scenario in Quickly Create Load Balancers.

SteeringPolicy	No	String	Traffic scheduling policy among origin server groups. Valid values: Priority: Perform failover according to priority. The default value is Priority.
FailoverPolicy	No	String	Request retry policy when access to an origin server fails. For details, refer to Introduction to Request Retry Strategy. Valid values: OtherOriginGroup: After a single request fails, retry with another origin server within the next lower priority origin server group. OtherRecordInOriginGroup: After a single request fails, retry with another origin server within the same origin server group. The default value is OtherRecordInOriginGroup.

3. Output Parameters

Parameter Name	Type	Description
InstanceId	String	CLB instance ID.
RequestId	String	The unique request ID, generated by the server, will be returned for every request (if the request fails to reach the server for other reasons, the request will not obtain a RequestId). RequestId is required for locating a problem.
