  Description

Moves a load balancer into a different compartment within the same tenancy. For information about moving resources between compartments, see Moving Resources to a Different Compartment <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Identity/Tasks/managingcompartments.htm#moveRes>.

  Usage

oci lb load-balancer change-compartment [OPTIONS]

  Required Parameters

--compartment-id, -c [text]

    The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the compartment to move the load balancer to.

--load-balancer-id [text]

    The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the load balancer to move.

  Optional Parameters

--from-json [text]

    Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

    The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

    Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

    For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--if-match [text]

    For optimistic concurrency control. Set the if-match parameter to the value of the ETag from a previous GET or POST response for that resource. The resource is moved only if the ETag you provide matches the resource’s current ETag value.

    Example:

    example-etag

--max-wait-seconds [integer]

    The maximum time to wait for the work request to reach the state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

--wait-for-state [text]

    This operation asynchronously creates, modifies or deletes a resource and uses a work request to track the progress of the operation. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the work request reaches a certain state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

    Accepted values are:

    ACCEPTED, FAILED, IN_PROGRESS, SUCCEEDED

--wait-interval-seconds [integer]

    Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the work request to see if it has reached the state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

  Global Parameters

•   Examples

  Description

Creates a new load balancer in the specified compartment. For general information about load balancers, see Overview of the Load Balancing Service <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Balance/Concepts/balanceoverview.htm>.

For the purposes of access control, you must provide the OCID of the compartment where you want the load balancer to reside. Notice that the load balancer doesn’t have to be in the same compartment as the VCN or backend set. If you’re not sure which compartment to use, put the load balancer in the same compartment as the VCN. For information about access control and compartments, see Overview of the IAM Service <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/Concepts/overview.htm>.

You must specify a display name for the load balancer. It does not have to be unique, and you can change it.

For information about Availability Domains, see Regions and Availability Domains <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/regions.htm>. To get a list of Availability Domains, use the ListAvailabilityDomains operation in the Identity and Access Management Service API.

All Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources, including load balancers, get an Oracle-assigned, unique ID called an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID). When you create a resource, you can find its OCID in the response. You can also retrieve a resource’s OCID by using a List API operation on that resource type, or by viewing the resource in the Console. Fore more information, see Resource Identifiers <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm>.

After you send your request, the new object’s state will temporarily be PROVISIONING. Before using the object, first make sure its state has changed to RUNNING.

When you create a load balancer, the system assigns an IP address. To get the IP address, use the GetLoadBalancer <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/lb/load-balancer/get.html> operation.

  Usage

    Examples

    ----

    When creating a load balancer, there are two main options:

•   Providing all information when calling the create command

•   Providing minimal information to the create command then then using individual commands to “assemble” the load balancer post-creation

    Working samples for both approaches can be found here <https://github.com/oracle/oci-cli/blob/master/scripts/create_load_balancer.sh>.

  Providing all information at create time

Under this option, you would call the create command and specify the --certificates, --backend-sets, --listener and --path-route-sets options in order to also create these items when creating the load balancer. Since those options are complex types, it is recommended that you place their input in JSON files and then specify these files as input to the command using the file:// syntax. For example:

oci lb load-balancer create --backend-sets file://path/to/backend/set/file.json

You can discover the format of the input you need to provide by using the --generate-param-json-input option. For example:

oci lb load-balancer create --generate-param-json-input certificates
oci lb load-balancer create --generate-param-json-input backend-sets
oci lb load-balancer create --generate-param-json-input listeners
oci lb load-balancer create --generate-param-json-input path-route-sets

As an alternative to providing those individal options, you can specify all the input to the command in a single file using the --from-json option. For example:

oci lb load-balancer create --from-json file://path/to/file/of/input.json

You can discover the format of the input you need to provide by using the --generate-full-command-json-input option. For example:

oci lb load-balancer create --generate-full-command-json-input

  Providing minimal information and then assembling via other commands

Under this option, you would only supply the mandatory arguments to the create command (and not any of the input marked as COMPLEX TYPE) and then use other operations to add certificates, backend sets, listeners and path route sets. This approach is more applicable if you do not wish to prepare JSON input files.

The key commands you’ll need to be aware of are:

•   This command

•   Create certificate

•   Create backend set

•   Create backend

•   List protocols

•   Create listener

•   Create path route set

    You would tie these together in sequence by:

    # Create load balancer with minimal attributes
    oci lb load-balancer create
    # Create a certificate bundle associated with the load balancer (call command multiple times if needed)
    oci lb certificate create
    # Create a backend set associated with the load balancer (call command multiple times if needed)
    # You may need the details of the certificate you previously created
    oci lb backend-set create
    # Add multiple backends to the backend set
    oci lb backend create
    oci lb backend create
    # Create a path route set for a particular listener of the load balancer to route traffic to appropriate back-end set
    oci lb path-route-set create
    # Add a listener to the load balancer (call command multiple times if needed)
    # This will take a --protocol option, whose valid values you can discover by oci lb protocol lists
    # You may also need the details of the certificate you previously created
    oci lb listener create

  Global Parameters

Use oci --help for help on global parameters.

•   Global Parameters

•   Examples

  Description

Gets the specified load balancer’s configuration information.

  Usage

oci lb load-balancer get [OPTIONS]

  Required Parameters

--load-balancer-id [text]

    The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the load balancer to retrieve.

  Optional Parameters

--from-json [text]

    Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

    The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

    Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

    For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

  update-load-balancer-shape

•   Description

•   Usage

•   Required Parameters

•   Optional Parameters

•   Global Parameters

  Description

Update the shape of a load balancer. The new shape can be larger or smaller compared to existing shape of the LB. The service will try to perform this operation in the least disruptive way to existing connections, but there is a possibility that they might be lost during the LB resizing process. The new shape becomes effective as soon as the related work request completes successfully, i.e. when reshaping to a larger shape, the LB will start accepting larger bandwidth and when reshaping to a smaller one, the LB will be accepting smaller bandwidth.

  Usage

oci lb load-balancer update-load-balancer-shape [OPTIONS]

  Required Parameters

--load-balancer-id [text]

    The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the load balancer whose shape will be updated.
