Step 7: Create and start application load balancer
Go to Load Balancing service
Click Add new Application Load Balancer
Set the Host server as ALB (this is a name of the server we onboarded in step 2)
Make sure to select both applications in Application Endpoints section
Click Save Load Balancer
After the initial sync of the load balancer status, ClusterWare will indicate that the Site is disabled with a red arrow
Click Restart Load Balancer
Provide Root password
Click OK
Once the Load Balancer restart is complete the password will be discarded from ClusterWare.
If you’re performing a lot of administrative tasks on the server you can choose to remember the password locally in your browser. It will be discarded when you close the browser tab.
When ClusterWare finishes restarting the Load Balancer, it will indicate that the Site is enabled with a green arrow.
Click on the load balancer URL link
Validate that the load balancer distributes the traffic between all 4 application instances running on different ports
Congratulations! 👏 You have created your first cluster with ClusterWare!
