Tenant network
1 Gbps shared

Per-tenant bandwidth is 1 Gbps shared. 1500 MTU (9000 jumbo frames planned).

Layer 4 & Layer 7
L4 / L7

TCP/UDP pass-through alongside HTTP/2 application routing.

Failover
Automatic

Active health checks evict unhealthy backends and reroute traffic.

Edge crypto
Free SSL

Free, auto-renewed certificates terminated at the load balancer.

Traffic control matrix

Follow one requestthrough the balancer

Scroll to send a request down the path. From the moment a request reaches your Noida entry point, it is filtered for volumetric DDoS, decrypted, and dispatched across healthy targets in both live Tier-IV facilities.

Request enters at ap-south-3 and is filtered for volumetric DDoS.

The balancer picks a healthy target by round robin and the pool answers.

Illustrative sample data

Institutional capability

Designed forextreme resilience

Beyond naive round-robin. Fine-grained control with multi-algorithm dispatch, active health tracking, and cross-zone balance on sovereign bare metal.

Pillar 01 / Algorithms

Advanced routing algorithms

Choose Round Robin, Least Connections, or IP Hash for sticky user sessions. Route at L7 by path, such as /api and /static, natively and without an external proxy.

Dispatch methods:Round Robin · LeastConn · IPHash · Path
Pillar 02 / Health

Automated health checks

Active probes query backend targets over HTTP, HTTPS or raw TCP. When an instance stalls, returns a 5xx or fails its handshake, traffic is rerouted to the healthy targets automatically.

Probe types:HTTP · HTTPS · TCP · Auto-evict
Pillar 03 / High availability

Cross-zone balancing

Load balancers distribute ingress across both live Noida facilities, Yotta NM1 and CtrlS, so a spike or re-balancing in one zone does not become a capacity bottleneck.

Zone topology:Yotta NM1 + CtrlS
Pillar 04 / Security

TLS termination and DDoS protection

Offload TLS handshakes from your application containers. Free SSL certificates renew automatically, and L3/L4 DDoS protection is included on every load balancer.

Security layer:L3/L4 DDoS · Auto-renewed SSL

Declarative automation

Provision with Terraform

Complete declarative control over your routing layer. Define targets, configure health checks, and tie SSL policy into the automation pipelines you already run.

  • Declarative control of load balancers, target groups and health checks
  • Target nodes and SSL policy live alongside your existing CI/CD code
  • Same regional API as the console, hosted in India

FAQ

Questions about load balancing

What the flat rate covers, how traffic is spread across Yotta NM1 and CtrlS, and where L4 and L7 differ.

A flat ₹838.33 / mo, plus capacity at ₹0.77/LCU-hr (L7), ₹0.58/NLCU-hr (L4). Data processed through it is not charged separately, so a traffic spike does not arrive as a second line item.
