Add an Application Load Balancer rule
Cloudlets rules determine what Application Load Balancer does when an incoming request meets a set of criteria. You can use Cloudlets Policy Manager to add rules, or you can upload them using a CSV file.
You can add up to 5,000 rules to a Cloudlets policy, but there is a maximum processing cost per policy to prevent performance issues. If your rules aren't working as expected before the 5,000 limit, you may have hit a cost limit. Review solutions on the Cost limit page.
