With the introduction of internal LB with n-tier apps there are additional APIs for LoadBalancers:
For regular old style load balancing which works with rules: listLoadBalancerRules createLoadBalancerRule deleteLoadBalancerRule Each return a LoadBalancerResponse (should that be renamed to LoadBalancerRuleResponse?) and assignToLoadBalancerRule assigns VMs to the rule On n-tier though via internallbVM one can create LoadBalancers. The group of APIs: createLoadBalancer deleteLoadBalancer listLoadBalancers each returns an ApplicationLoadBalancerResponse and assignToLoadBalancerRule which adds VMs to the above created containers. >From the spec [1] I partially understand the workflow but have some doubts. >From what I understood the n-tier APIs act like containers of LoadBalancerRules. Is this correct? If yes, are we overloading the existing APIs to add rules to an internal load balancer? If no, are the new set of APIs used to add rules as well (it seems this is the case)? In which case - does it make sense to think of it as a logical (re-appliable) grouping? Does this (partially) relate to the Elastic Load Balancing on AWS?
