Create a NodeBalancer

post https://api.linode.com//nodebalancers

Creates a NodeBalancer in the requested Region. Only available in regions with "NodeBalancers" in their capabilities.

NodeBalancers require a port config with at least one backend node to start serving requests.

When using the Linode CLI to create a NodeBalancer, first create a NodeBalancer without any configs. Then, create configs and nodes for that NodeBalancer with the respective Create a config and Create a node operations.

​

linode-cli nodebalancers create \
  --region us-east \
  --label balancer12345 \
  --client_conn_throttle 0

You can have only one vpcs in a NodeBalancer configuration. If any of your backend nodes are VPC Linodes, specify the VPC subnet and CIDR range. NodeBalancer routes traffic to backend VPC nodes through this subnet. The specified VPC subnet must exist within the same data center as the NodeBalancer, and the provided IP range must be contained within the subnet's CIDR block. All IP addresses within the specified range must be free and available for assignment. Once the NodeBalancer is created, its VPC cannot be changed.
