Administer the Load Balancer for an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Instance

Oracle recommends configuring a load balancer when using a multinode cluster (such as production use cases). You can configure a load balancer during provisioning (see Load Balancer Configuration) or post-provisioning, as described in these topics.

Topics:

• (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure only) Configure an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancer Post-Provisioning

• (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic) Configure an Oracle Traffic Director Load Balancer During Provisioning or Post-Provisioning

Note:

You can disable the load balancer to suspend the Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance temporarily, to block any new traffic from being delivered to the service instance. This is useful when you want to perform routine maintenance on an Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance, but do not want to stop the service instance. Once the maintenance activities have been completed, you can re-enable the load balancer to allow traffic to be delivered.
