Question:- Demonstrate step by step procedure to launch an External LB in GCP ?
Step #1.) Navigate to the screen for launching the Load-Balancer :-
Step #2.) Choose the type of Load-Balancer as “Internet to my VMs”. This is Internet Facing Load-Balancer, which would receive the traffic from Internet :-
Step #3.) Now, we choose the BackEnd Configuration for this Load-Balancer :-
Step #4.) In this step, we define the name of this BackEnd and timeout :-
Step #5.) In this step, we associate the Instance-Group with our LB. Ths is the step, where we also define the port-Number for our LB :-
Step #6.) In this step, we define the health-check with our LB :-
Step #7.) Finally, we are done now and can review all our configurations :-
Step #8.) And here is we have our Global-LB created now :-
