IP Load Balancing

If you have 2 servers (or more), you can create an IP Load Balancing address.
It allows you to send traffic to multiple servers in parallel and thus can spread the load.

How do you use this feature ?

You create an infrastructure in your manager and we will assign you an Load Balancing IP, which has the ability to send traffic to multiple servers (maximum 8), through a system of redundant routing.
You can create a cluster that handles web requests, email, dns, sip, etc. in parallel.
There is no limit on the number of simultaneous sessions.

The operation is similar to that of IP Failover with the difference being that multiple servers receive traffic coming into your IP Load Balancing.

You can then add or remove a machine in your cluster in minutes from your manager. To add a machine in a cluster, it must belong to the same account as the others.

You can ask us to monitor your server using the protocol OCO (OvhCheckOut).
If our monitoring system is a default on your server, it automatically removes your server cluster and then presents it again "OK." It is automatic and without any cost.
To install and configure the software OCO, you can follow this guide:Guide Oco

To start, visit https://www.ovh.com/managerv3, Click your server and services, IP LoadBalancing and click Create (with 2 servers for example), a few minutes later you can begin to manage your cluster.
