Setting Up Our Load Balancer

Here is the second installment of our tutorial series. Here we look at how easily you can take a single server site and create additional servers based on the first one and put them all behind the built in loadbalancer.

In this episode we’ll:
-Create a template from an existing cloud server
-Launch a new server based on the template
-Modify the “Hello World” page
-Configure the load balancer
-Test the site with a browser

In this episode we’ll:
-Create a new compute instance
-Install Apache web server
-Create a “Hello World” page
-Acquire an IP
-Setup port forwarding on the firewall
-Test site
