string

The fully-qualified URL of an instance group or network endpoint group (NEG) resource. To determine what types of backends a load balancer supports, see the Backend services overview.

You must use the fully-qualified URL (starting with https://www.googleapis.com/) to specify the instance group or NEG. Partial URLs are not supported.

enum

Specifies how to determine whether the backend of a load balancer can handle additional traffic or is fully loaded. For usage guidelines, see Connection balancing mode.

Backends must use compatible balancing modes. For more information, see Supported balancing modes and target capacity settings and Restrictions and guidance for instance groups.

Note: Currently, if you use the API to configure incompatible balancing modes, the configuration might be accepted even though it has no impact and is ignored. Specifically, Backend.maxUtilization is ignored when Backend.balancingMode is RATE. In the future, this incompatible combination will be rejected.

number

Optional parameter to define a target capacity for the UTILIZATION balancing mode. The valid range is [0.0, 1.0].

For usage guidelines, see Utilization balancing mode.

number

A multiplier applied to the backend's target capacity of its balancing mode. The default value is 1, which means the group serves up to 100% of its configured capacity (depending on balancingMode). A setting of 0 means the group is completely drained, offering 0% of its available capacity. The valid ranges are 0.0 and [0.1,1.0]. You cannot configure a setting larger than 0 and smaller than 0.1. You cannot configure a setting of 0 when there is only one backend attached to the backend service.

Not available with backends that don't support using a balancingMode. This includes backends such as global internet NEGs, regional serverless NEGs, and PSC NEGs.

boolean

This field designates whether this is a failover backend. More than one failover backend can be configured for a given BackendService.

enum

This field indicates whether this backend should be fully utilized before sending traffic to backends with default preference. The possible values are:

• PREFERRED: Backends with this preference level will be filled up to their capacity limits first, based on RTT.
• DEFAULT: If preferred backends don't have enough capacity, backends in this layer would be used and traffic would be assigned based on the load balancing algorithm you use. This is the default

boolean

If true, the metric data is collected and reported to Cloud Monitoring, but is not used for load balancing.

string

The list of URLs to the healthChecks, httpHealthChecks (legacy), or httpsHealthChecks (legacy) resource for health checking this backend service. Not all backend services support legacy health checks. See Load balancer guide. Currently, at most one health check can be specified for each backend service. Backend services with instance group or zonal NEG backends must have a health check. Backend services with internet or serverless NEG backends must not have a health check.

integer

The backend service timeout has a different meaning depending on the type of load balancer. For more information see, Backend service settings. The default is 30 seconds. The full range of timeout values allowed goes from 1 through 2,147,483,647 seconds.

This value can be overridden in the PathMatcher configuration of the UrlMap that references this backend service.

Fingerprint of this resource. A hash of the contents stored in this object. This field is used in optimistic locking. This field will be ignored when inserting a BackendService. An up-to-date fingerprint must be provided in order to update the BackendService, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet.

To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve a BackendService.

A base64-encoded string.

string

A named port on a backend instance group representing the port for communication to the backend VMs in that group. The named port must be defined on each backend instance group. This parameter has no meaning if the backends are NEGs. For internal passthrough Network Load Balancers and external passthrough Network Load Balancers, omit portName.

boolean

If true, enables Cloud CDN for the backend service of a global external Application Load Balancer.

enum

Type of session affinity to use. The default is NONE.

Only NONE and HEADER_FIELD are supported when the backend service is referenced by a URL map that is bound to target gRPC proxy that has validateForProxyless field set to true.

For more details, see: Session Affinity.

For load balancers that have configurable failover: Internal passthrough Network Load Balancers and external passthrough Network Load Balancers. The default is false.

number

The value of the field must be in the range [0, 1]. If the value is 0, the load balancer performs a failover when the number of healthy primary VMs equals zero. For all other values, the load balancer performs a failover when the total number of healthy primary VMs is less than this ratio. For load balancers that have configurable failover: Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancing and external TCP/UDP Load Balancing.

enum

Specifies the load balancer type. A backend service created for one type of load balancer cannot be used with another. For more information, refer to Choosing a load balancer.

string

Names of query string parameters to exclude in cache keys. All other parameters will be included. Either specify queryStringWhitelist or queryStringBlacklist, not both. '&' and '=' will be percent encoded and not treated as delimiters.

string

Allows HTTP request headers (by name) to be used in the cache key.

string

Allows HTTP cookies (by name) to be used in the cache key. The name=value pair will be used in the cache key Cloud CDN generates.

string

[Output Only] Names of the keys for signing request URLs.

string (int64 format)

Maximum number of seconds the response to a signed URL request will be considered fresh. After this time period, the response will be revalidated before being served. Defaults to 1hr (3600s). When serving responses to signed URL requests, Cloud CDN will internally behave as though all responses from this backend had a "Cache-Control: public, max-age=[TTL]" header, regardless of any existing Cache-Control header. The actual headers served in responses will not be altered.

boolean

If true then Cloud CDN will combine multiple concurrent cache fill requests into a small number of requests to the origin.

enum

Specifies the cache setting for all responses from this backend. The possible values are: USE_ORIGIN_HEADERS Requires the origin to set valid caching headers to cache content. Responses without these headers will not be cached at Google's edge, and will require a full trip to the origin on every request, potentially impacting performance and increasing load on the origin server. FORCE_CACHE_ALL Cache all content, ignoring any "private", "no-store" or "no-cache" directives in Cache-Control response headers. Warning: this may result in Cloud CDN caching private, per-user (user identifiable) content. CACHE_ALL_STATIC Automatically cache static content, including common image formats, media (video and audio), and web assets (JavaScript and CSS). Requests and responses that are marked as uncacheable, as well as dynamic content (including HTML), will not be cached.

integer

Specifies the default TTL for cached content served by this origin for responses that do not have an existing valid TTL (max-age or s-max-age). Setting a TTL of "0" means "always revalidate". The value of defaultTTL cannot be set to a value greater than that of maxTTL, but can be equal. When the cacheMode is set to FORCE_CACHE_ALL, the defaultTTL will overwrite the TTL set in all responses. The maximum allowed value is 31,622,400s (1 year), noting that infrequently accessed objects may be evicted from the cache before the defined TTL.

integer

Specifies the maximum allowed TTL for cached content served by this origin. Cache directives that attempt to set a max-age or s-maxage higher than this, or an Expires header more than maxTTL seconds in the future will be capped at the value of maxTTL, as if it were the value of an s-maxage Cache-Control directive. Headers sent to the client will not be modified. Setting a TTL of "0" means "always revalidate". The maximum allowed value is 31,622,400s (1 year), noting that infrequently accessed objects may be evicted from the cache before the defined TTL.

integer

Specifies a separate client (e.g. browser client) maximum TTL. This is used to clamp the max-age (or Expires) value sent to the client. With FORCE_CACHE_ALL, the lesser of clientTtl and defaultTtl is used for the response max-age directive, along with a "public" directive. For cacheable content in CACHE_ALL_STATIC mode, clientTtl clamps the max-age from the origin (if specified), or else sets the response max-age directive to the lesser of the clientTtl and defaultTtl, and also ensures a "public" cache-control directive is present. If a client TTL is not specified, a default value (1 hour) will be used. The maximum allowed value is 31,622,400s (1 year).

boolean

Negative caching allows per-status code TTLs to be set, in order to apply fine-grained caching for common errors or redirects. This can reduce the load on your origin and improve end-user experience by reducing response latency. When the cache mode is set to CACHE_ALL_STATIC or USE_ORIGIN_HEADERS, negative caching applies to responses with the specified response code that lack any Cache-Control, Expires, or Pragma: no-cache directives. When the cache mode is set to FORCE_CACHE_ALL, negative caching applies to all responses with the specified response code, and override any caching headers. By default, Cloud CDN will apply the following default TTLs to these status codes: HTTP 300 (Multiple Choice), 301, 308 (Permanent Redirects): 10m HTTP 404 (Not Found), 410 (Gone), 451 (Unavailable For Legal Reasons): 120s HTTP 405 (Method Not Found), 421 (Misdirected Request), 501 (Not Implemented): 60s. These defaults can be overridden in negativeCachingPolicy.

object

Sets a cache TTL for the specified HTTP status code. negativeCaching must be enabled to configure negativeCachingPolicy. Omitting the policy and leaving negativeCaching enabled will use Cloud CDN's default cache TTLs. Note that when specifying an explicit negativeCachingPolicy, you should take care to specify a cache TTL for all response codes that you wish to cache. Cloud CDN will not apply any default negative caching when a policy exists.

integer

The HTTP status code to define a TTL against. Only HTTP status codes 300, 301, 302, 307, 308, 404, 405, 410, 421, 451 and 501 are can be specified as values, and you cannot specify a status code more than once.

integer

The TTL (in seconds) for which to cache responses with the corresponding status code. The maximum allowed value is 1800s (30 minutes), noting that infrequently accessed objects may be evicted from the cache before the defined TTL.

object

Bypass the cache when the specified request headers are matched - e.g. Pragma or Authorization headers. Up to 5 headers can be specified. The cache is bypassed for all cdnPolicy.cacheMode settings.

string

The header field name to match on when bypassing cache. Values are case-insensitive.

integer

Serve existing content from the cache (if available) when revalidating content with the origin, or when an error is encountered when refreshing the cache. This setting defines the default "max-stale" duration for any cached responses that do not specify a max-stale directive. Stale responses that exceed the TTL configured here will not be served. The default limit (max-stale) is 86400s (1 day), which will allow stale content to be served up to this limit beyond the max-age (or s-max-age) of a cached response. The maximum allowed value is 604800 (1 week). Set this to zero (0) to disable serve-while-stale.

string

Headers that the load balancer adds to proxied requests. See Creating custom headers.

string

Headers that the load balancer adds to proxied responses. See Creating custom headers.

boolean

Denotes whether to enable logging for the load balancer traffic served by this backend service. The default value is false.

number

This field can only be specified if logging is enabled for this backend service. The value of the field must be in [0, 1]. This configures the sampling rate of requests to the load balancer where 1.0 means all logged requests are reported and 0.0 means no logged requests are reported. The default value is 1.0.

enum

This field can only be specified if logging is enabled for this backend service. Configures whether all, none or a subset of optional fields should be added to the reported logs. One of [INCLUDE_ALL_OPTIONAL, EXCLUDE_ALL_OPTIONAL, CUSTOM]. Default is EXCLUDE_ALL_OPTIONAL.

string

This field can only be specified if logging is enabled for this backend service and "logConfig.optionalMode" was set to CUSTOM. Contains a list of optional fields you want to include in the logs. For example: serverInstance, serverGkeDetails.cluster, serverGkeDetails.pod.podNamespace

object

This field specifies the security settings that apply to this backend service. This field is applicable to a global backend service with the loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

string

Optional. A URL referring to a networksecurity.ClientTlsPolicy resource that describes how clients should authenticate with this service's backends.

clientTlsPolicy only applies to a global BackendService with the loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

If left blank, communications are not encrypted.

string

[Deprecated] Use clientTlsPolicy instead.

string

Optional. A list of Subject Alternative Names (SANs) that the client verifies during a mutual TLS handshake with an server/endpoint for this BackendService. When the server presents its X.509 certificate to the client, the client inspects the certificate's subjectAltName field. If the field contains one of the specified values, the communication continues. Otherwise, it fails. This additional check enables the client to verify that the server is authorized to run the requested service.

Note that the contents of the server certificate's subjectAltName field are configured by the Public Key Infrastructure which provisions server identities.

Only applies to a global BackendService with loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. Only applies when BackendService has an attached clientTlsPolicy with clientCertificate (mTLS mode).

object

enum

The load balancing algorithm used within the scope of the locality. The possible values are:

• ROUND_ROBIN: This is a simple policy in which each healthy backend is selected in round robin order. This is the default.
• LEAST_REQUEST: An O(1) algorithm which selects two random healthy hosts and picks the host which has fewer active requests.
• RING_HASH: The ring/modulo hash load balancer implements consistent hashing to backends. The algorithm has the property that the addition/removal of a host from a set of N hosts only affects 1/N of the requests.
• RANDOM: The load balancer selects a random healthy host.
• ORIGINAL_DESTINATION: Backend host is selected based on the client connection metadata, i.e., connections are opened to the same address as the destination address of the incoming connection before the connection was redirected to the load balancer.
• MAGLEV: used as a drop in replacement for the ring hash load balancer. Maglev is not as stable as ring hash but has faster table lookup build times and host selection times. For more information about Maglev, see https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub44824

This field is applicable to either:

• A regional backend service with the serviceProtocol set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2, and loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_MANAGED.
• A global backend service with the loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED, INTERNAL_MANAGED, or EXTERNAL_MANAGED.

If sessionAffinity is not configured—that is, if session affinity remains at the default value of NONE—then the default value for localityLbPolicy is ROUND_ROBIN. If session affinity is set to a value other than NONE, then the default value for localityLbPolicy is MAGLEV.

Only ROUND_ROBIN and RING_HASH are supported when the backend service is referenced by a URL map that is bound to target gRPC proxy that has validateForProxyless field set to true.

object

Consistent Hash-based load balancing can be used to provide soft session affinity based on HTTP headers, cookies or other properties. This load balancing policy is applicable only for HTTP connections. The affinity to a particular destination host will be lost when one or more hosts are added/removed from the destination service. This field specifies parameters that control consistent hashing. This field is only applicable when localityLbPolicy is set to MAGLEV or RING_HASH.

This field is applicable to either:

• A regional backend service with the serviceProtocol set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2, and loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_MANAGED.
• A global backend service with the loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

object

Hash is based on HTTP Cookie. This field describes a HTTP cookie that will be used as the hash key for the consistent hash load balancer. If the cookie is not present, it will be generated. This field is applicable if the sessionAffinity is set to HTTP_COOKIE.

object

Settings controlling the ejection of unhealthy backend endpoints from the load balancing pool of each individual proxy instance that processes the traffic for the given backend service. If not set, this feature is considered disabled.

Results of the outlier detection algorithm (ejection of endpoints from the load balancing pool and returning them back to the pool) are executed independently by each proxy instance of the load balancer. In most cases, more than one proxy instance handles the traffic received by a backend service. Thus, it is possible that an unhealthy endpoint is detected and ejected by only some of the proxies, and while this happens, other proxies may continue to send requests to the same unhealthy endpoint until they detect and eject the unhealthy endpoint.

Applicable backend endpoints can be:

• VM instances in an Instance Group
• Endpoints in a Zonal NEG (GCE_VM_IP, GCE_VM_IP_PORT)
• Endpoints in a Hybrid Connectivity NEG (NON_GCP_PRIVATE_IP_PORT)
• Serverless NEGs, that resolve to Cloud Run, App Engine, or Cloud Functions Services
• Private Service Connect NEGs, that resolve to Google-managed regional API endpoints or managed services published using Private Service Connect

Applicable backend service types can be:

• A global backend service with the loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED or EXTERNAL_MANAGED.
• A regional backend service with the serviceProtocol set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2, and loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_MANAGED or EXTERNAL_MANAGED. Not supported for Serverless NEGs.

Not supported when the backend service is referenced by a URL map that is bound to target gRPC proxy that has validateForProxyless field set to true.

integer

Number of consecutive errors before a backend endpoint is ejected from the load balancing pool. When the backend endpoint is accessed over HTTP, a 5xx return code qualifies as an error. Defaults to 5.

object

Time interval between ejection analysis sweeps. This can result in both new ejections and backend endpoints being returned to service. The interval is equal to the number of seconds as defined in outlierDetection.interval.seconds plus the number of nanoseconds as defined in outlierDetection.interval.nanos. Defaults to 1 second.

string (int64 format)

Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive. Note: these bounds are computed from: 60 sec/min * 60 min/hr * 24 hr/day * 365.25 days/year * 10000 years

integer

Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive nanos field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

object

The base time that a backend endpoint is ejected for. Defaults to 30000ms or 30s.

After a backend endpoint is returned back to the load balancing pool, it can be ejected again in another ejection analysis. Thus, the total ejection time is equal to the base ejection time multiplied by the number of times the backend endpoint has been ejected. Defaults to 30000ms or 30s.

string (int64 format)

Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive. Note: these bounds are computed from: 60 sec/min * 60 min/hr * 24 hr/day * 365.25 days/year * 10000 years

integer

Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive nanos field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

integer

Maximum percentage of backend endpoints in the load balancing pool for the backend service that can be ejected if the ejection conditions are met. Defaults to 50%.

integer

The percentage chance that a backend endpoint will be ejected when an outlier status is detected through consecutive 5xx. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 0.

integer

The percentage chance that a backend endpoint will be ejected when an outlier status is detected through success rate statistics. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 100.

Not supported when the backend service uses Serverless NEG.

integer

The number of backend endpoints in the load balancing pool that must have enough request volume to detect success rate outliers. If the number of backend endpoints is fewer than this setting, outlier detection via success rate statistics is not performed for any backend endpoint in the load balancing pool. Defaults to 5.

Not supported when the backend service uses Serverless NEG.

integer

The minimum number of total requests that must be collected in one interval (as defined by the interval duration above) to include this backend endpoint in success rate based outlier detection. If the volume is lower than this setting, outlier detection via success rate statistics is not performed for that backend endpoint. Defaults to 100.

Not supported when the backend service uses Serverless NEG.

integer

This factor is used to determine the ejection threshold for success rate outlier ejection. The ejection threshold is the difference between the mean success rate, and the product of this factor and the standard deviation of the mean success rate: mean - (stdev * successRateStdevFactor). This factor is divided by a thousand to get a double. That is, if the desired factor is 1.9, the runtime value should be 1900. Defaults to 1900.

Not supported when the backend service uses Serverless NEG.

integer

The number of consecutive gateway failures (502, 503, 504 status or connection errors that are mapped to one of those status codes) before a consecutive gateway failure ejection occurs. Defaults to 3.

integer

The percentage chance that a backend endpoint will be ejected when an outlier status is detected through consecutive gateway failures. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 100.

string

The URL of the network to which this backend service belongs. This field can only be specified when the load balancing scheme is set to INTERNAL.

The number of backends per backend group assigned to each proxy instance or each service mesh client.

An input parameter to the CONSISTENT_HASH_SUBSETTING algorithm. Can only be set if policy is set to CONSISTENT_HASH_SUBSETTING. Can only be set if load balancing scheme is INTERNAL_MANAGED or INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

subsetSize is optional for Internal HTTP(S) load balancing and required for Traffic Director.

If you do not provide this value, Cloud Load Balancing will calculate it dynamically to optimize the number of proxies/clients visible to each backend and vice versa.

Must be greater than 0. If subsetSize is larger than the number of backends/endpoints, then subsetting is disabled.

object

Connection Tracking configuration for this BackendService. Connection tracking policy settings are only available for external passthrough Network Load Balancers and internal passthrough Network Load Balancers.

enum

Specifies the key used for connection tracking. There are two options:

• PER_CONNECTION: This is the default mode. The Connection Tracking is performed as per the Connection Key (default Hash Method) for the specific protocol.
• PER_SESSION: The Connection Tracking is performed as per the configured Session Affinity. It matches the configured Session Affinity.

For more details, see Tracking Mode for Network Load Balancing and Tracking Mode for Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancing.

enum

Specifies connection persistence when backends are unhealthy. The default value is DEFAULT_FOR_PROTOCOL.

If set to DEFAULT_FOR_PROTOCOL, the existing connections persist on unhealthy backends only for connection-oriented protocols (TCP and SCTP) and only if the Tracking Mode is PER_CONNECTION (default tracking mode) or the Session Affinity is configured for 5-tuple. They do not persist for UDP.

If set to NEVER_PERSIST, after a backend becomes unhealthy, the existing connections on the unhealthy backend are never persisted on the unhealthy backend. They are always diverted to newly selected healthy backends (unless all backends are unhealthy).

If set to ALWAYS_PERSIST, existing connections always persist on unhealthy backends regardless of protocol and session affinity. It is generally not recommended to use this mode overriding the default.

For more details, see Connection Persistence for Network Load Balancing and Connection Persistence for Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancing.

integer

Specifies how long to keep a Connection Tracking entry while there is no matching traffic (in seconds).

For internal passthrough Network Load Balancers:

• The minimum (default) is 10 minutes and the maximum is 16 hours.
• It can be set only if Connection Tracking is less than 5-tuple (i.e. Session Affinity is CLIENT_IP_NO_DESTINATION, CLIENT_IP or CLIENT_IP_PROTO, and Tracking Mode is PER_SESSION).

For external passthrough Network Load Balancers the default is 60 seconds. This option is not available publicly.

boolean

Enable Strong Session Affinity for external passthrough Network Load Balancers. This option is not available publicly.

object

Specifies the default maximum duration (timeout) for streams to this service. Duration is computed from the beginning of the stream until the response has been completely processed, including all retries. A stream that does not complete in this duration is closed.

If not specified, there will be no timeout limit, i.e. the maximum duration is infinite.

This value can be overridden in the PathMatcher configuration of the UrlMap that references this backend service.

This field is only allowed when the loadBalancingScheme of the backend service is INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

string (int64 format)

Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive. Note: these bounds are computed from: 60 sec/min * 60 min/hr * 24 hr/day * 365.25 days/year * 10000 years

integer

Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive nanos field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

enum

Compress text responses using Brotli or gzip compression, based on the client's Accept-Encoding header.

string

URL to networkservices.ServiceLbPolicy resource.

Can only be set if load balancing scheme is EXTERNAL, EXTERNAL_MANAGED, INTERNAL_MANAGED or INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED and the scope is global.

string

URLs of networkservices.ServiceBinding resources.

Can only be set if load balancing scheme is INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. If set, lists of backends and health checks must be both empty.

object

A list of locality load-balancing policies to be used in order of preference. When you use localityLbPolicies, you must set at least one value for either the localityLbPolicies[].policy or the localityLbPolicies[].customPolicy field. localityLbPolicies overrides any value set in the localityLbPolicy field.

For an example of how to use this field, see Define a list of preferred policies.

Caution: This field and its children are intended for use in a service mesh that includes gRPC clients only. Envoy proxies can't use backend services that have this configuration.

object

enum

The name of a locality load-balancing policy. Valid values include ROUND_ROBIN and, for Java clients, LEAST_REQUEST. For information about these values, see the description of localityLbPolicy.

Do not specify the same policy more than once for a backend. If you do, the configuration is rejected.

object

string

Identifies the custom policy.

The value should match the name of a custom implementation registered on the gRPC clients. It should follow protocol buffer message naming conventions and include the full path (for example, myorg.CustomLbPolicy). The maximum length is 256 characters.

Do not specify the same custom policy more than once for a backend. If you do, the configuration is rejected.

For an example of how to use this field, see Use a custom policy.

string

An optional, arbitrary JSON object with configuration data, understood by a locally installed custom policy implementation.

enum

Specifies the canary migration state. Possible values are PREPARE, TEST_BY_PERCENTAGE, and TEST_ALL_TRAFFIC.

To begin the migration from EXTERNAL to EXTERNAL_MANAGED, the state must be changed to PREPARE. The state must be changed to TEST_ALL_TRAFFIC before the loadBalancingScheme can be changed to EXTERNAL_MANAGED. Optionally, the TEST_BY_PERCENTAGE state can be used to migrate traffic by percentage using externalManagedMigrationTestingPercentage.

Rolling back a migration requires the states to be set in reverse order. So changing the scheme from EXTERNAL_MANAGED to EXTERNAL requires the state to be set to TEST_ALL_TRAFFIC at the same time. Optionally, the TEST_BY_PERCENTAGE state can be used to migrate some traffic back to EXTERNAL or PREPARE can be used to migrate all traffic back to EXTERNAL.

number

Determines the fraction of requests that should be processed by the Global external Application Load Balancer.

The value of this field must be in the range [0, 100].

Session affinity options will slightly affect this routing behavior, for more details, see: Session Affinity.

This value can only be set if the loadBalancingScheme in the BackendService is set to EXTERNAL (when using the classic Application Load Balancer) and the migration state is TEST_BY_PERCENTAGE.

enum

Specifies a preference for traffic sent from the proxy to the backend (or from the client to the backend for proxyless gRPC). The possible values are:

• IPV4_ONLY: Only send IPv4 traffic to the backends of the backend service (Instance Group, Managed Instance Group, Network Endpoint Group), regardless of traffic from the client to the proxy. Only IPv4 health checks are used to check the health of the backends. This is the default setting.
• PREFER_IPV6: Prioritize the connection to the endpoint's IPv6 address over its IPv4 address (provided there is a healthy IPv6 address).
• IPV6_ONLY: Only send IPv6 traffic to the backends of the backend service (Instance Group, Managed Instance Group, Network Endpoint Group), regardless of traffic from the client to the proxy. Only IPv6 health checks are used to check the health of the backends.

This field is applicable to either:

• Advanced global external Application Load Balancer (load balancing scheme EXTERNAL_MANAGED),
• Regional external Application Load Balancer,
• Internal proxy Network Load Balancer (load balancing scheme INTERNAL_MANAGED),
• Regional internal Application Load Balancer (load balancing scheme INTERNAL_MANAGED),
• Traffic Director with Envoy proxies and proxyless gRPC (load balancing scheme INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED).

map (key: string, value: string)

Deployment metadata associated with the resource to be set by a GKE hub controller and read by the backend RCTH

object

[Output Only] regionBackendServices.list of resources referencing given backend service.

string

[Output Only] Server-defined URL for resources referencing given BackendService like UrlMaps, TargetTcpProxies, TargetSslProxies and ForwardingRule.

object

Describes the HTTP cookie used for stateful session affinity. This field is applicable and required if the sessionAffinity is set to STRONG_COOKIE_AFFINITY.

string

Name of the cookie.

string

Path to set for the cookie.

object

Lifetime of the cookie.

string (int64 format)

Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive. Note: these bounds are computed from: 60 sec/min * 60 min/hr * 24 hr/day * 365.25 days/year * 10000 years

integer

Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive nanos field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

object

regionBackendServices.list of custom metrics that are used for the WEIGHTED_ROUND_ROBIN localityLbPolicy.

string

Name of a custom utilization signal. The name must be 1-24 characters long and match the regular expression a-z? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, period, underscore, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash, period, or underscore. For usage guidelines, see Custom Metrics balancing mode. This field can only be used for a global or regional backend service with the loadBalancingScheme set to EXTERNAL_MANAGED, INTERNAL_MANAGED INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

boolean

If true, the metric data is not used for load balancing.
