How to define SLB

If you have a Aliyun account and you have purchased at least 2 cloud servers, you can create a SLB service and manage it using the Aliyun console. First, give your load-balancing service a name so that you can identify the difference between it and other load-balancing services. You also need to configure the ports and protocols that are used for the load balancing service to ensure that external traffic can be forwarded from the load Balancing service port to the port that corresponds to the multiple cloud servers that are the load-balancing service.

Important Tips

Once you enable the SLB service, we will charge each instance according to the relevant metering strategy unless you completely delete the SLB service-related instances that you created.
