Attribute
Name	Description
name	str 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. Check the Name enum for the list of possible values. This field is a member of oneof_ _name.

Name

Name(value)

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.

Values: UNDEFINED_NAME (0): A value indicating that the enum field is not set. INVALID_LB_POLICY (323318707): No description available. LEAST_REQUEST (46604921): An O(1) algorithm which selects two random healthy hosts and picks the host which has fewer active requests. MAGLEV (119180266): This algorithm implements consistent hashing to backends. Maglev can be 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 ORIGINAL_DESTINATION (166297216): 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. RANDOM (262527171): The load balancer selects a random healthy host. RING_HASH (432795069): 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. ROUND_ROBIN (153895801): This is a simple policy in which each healthy backend is selected in round robin order. This is the default. WEIGHTED_MAGLEV (254930962): Per-instance weighted Load Balancing via health check reported weights. If set, the Backend Service must configure a non legacy HTTP-based Health Check, and health check replies are expected to contain non-standard HTTP response header field X-Load-Balancing-Endpoint-Weight to specify the per-instance weights. If set, Load Balancing is weighted based on the per-instance weights reported in the last processed health check replies, as long as every instance either reported a valid weight or had UNAVAILABLE_WEIGHT. Otherwise, Load Balancing remains equal-weight. This option is only supported in Network Load Balancing.
