cookie	CookieSessionAffinity Cookie-based session affinity configuration.

HttpBackend

Field	Description
name	string Required. Name of the backend. Value must match the regular expression [a-z][-a-z0-9]{1,61}[a-z0-9].
backend_weight	google.protobuf.Int64Value Backend weight. Traffic is distributed between backends of a backend group according to their weights. Weights must be set either for all backends in a group or for none of them. Setting no weights is the same as setting equal non-zero weights for all backends. If the weight is non-positive, traffic is not sent to the backend.
load_balancing_config	LoadBalancingConfig Load balancing configuration for the backend.
port	int64 Port used by all targets to receive traffic. Acceptable values are 0 to 65535, inclusive.
backend_type	oneof: target_groups or storage_bucket Reference to targets that belong to the backend. A backend may be a set of target groups or an Object Storage bucket. For details about backend types, see documentation.
target_groups	TargetGroupsBackend Target groups that belong to the backend. For details about target groups, see documentation.
storage_bucket	StorageBucketBackend Object Storage bucket to use as the backend. For details about buckets, see documentation. If a bucket is used as a backend, the list of bucket objects and the objects themselves must be publicly accessible. For instructions, see documentation.
healthchecks[]	HealthCheck Health checks to perform on targets from target groups. For details about health checking, see documentation. If no health checks are specified, active health checking is not performed.
tls	BackendTls Settings for TLS connections between load balancer nodes and backend targets. If specified, the load balancer establishes HTTPS (HTTP over TLS) connections with targets and compares received certificates with the one specified in BackendTls.validation_context. If not specified, the load balancer establishes unencrypted HTTP connections with targets.
use_http2	bool Enables HTTP/2 usage in connections between load balancer nodes and backend targets. Default value: false, HTTP/1.1 is used.

LoadBalancingConfig

Field	Description
panic_threshold	int64 Threshold for panic mode. If percentage of healthy backends in the group drops below threshold, panic mode will be activated and traffic will be routed to all backends, regardless of their health check status. This helps to avoid overloading healthy backends. For details about panic mode, see documentation. If the value is 0, panic mode will never be activated and traffic is routed only to healthy backends at all times. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.
locality_aware_routing_percent	int64 Percentage of traffic that a load balancer node sends to healthy backends in its availability zone. The rest is divided equally between other zones. For details about zone-aware routing, see documentation. If there are no healthy backends in an availability zone, all the traffic is divided between other zones. If strict_locality is true, the specified value is ignored. A load balancer node sends all the traffic within its availability zone, regardless of backends' health. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.
strict_locality	bool Specifies whether a load balancer node should only send traffic to backends in its availability zone, regardless of their health, and ignore backends in other zones. If set to true and there are no healthy backends in the zone, the node in this zone will respond to incoming traffic with errors. For details about strict locality, see documentation. If strict_locality is true, the value specified in locality_aware_routing_percent is ignored. Default value: false.
mode	enum LoadBalancingMode Load balancing mode for the backend. For detals about load balancing modes, see documentation. ROUND_ROBIN: Round robin load balancing mode. All endpoints of the backend take their turns to receive requests attributed to the backend. RANDOM: Random load balancing mode. Default value. For a request attributed to the backend, an endpoint that receives it is picked at random. LEAST_REQUEST: Least request load balancing mode. To pick an endpoint that receives a request attributed to the backend, the power of two choices algorithm is used; that is, two endpoints are picked at random, and the request is sent to the one which has the fewest active requests. MAGLEV_HASH: Maglev hashing load balancing mode, used only if session affinity is working for the backend group. Each endpoint is hashed, and a hash table with 65537 rows is filled accordingly, so that every endpoint occupies the same amount of rows. An attribute of each request, specified in session affinity configuration of the backend group, is also hashed by the same function. The row with the same number as the resulting value is looked up in the table to determine the endpoint that receives the request. If session affinity is not working for the backend group (i.e. it is not configured or the group contains more than one backend with positive weight), endpoints for backends with MAGLEV_HASH load balancing mode are picked at RANDOM instead.

locality_aware_routing_percent	int64 Percentage of traffic that a load balancer node sends to healthy backends in its availability zone. The rest is divided equally between other zones. For details about zone-aware routing, see documentation. If there are no healthy backends in an availability zone, all the traffic is divided between other zones. If strict_locality is true, the specified value is ignored. A load balancer node sends all the traffic within its availability zone, regardless of backends' health. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.

mode	enum LoadBalancingMode Load balancing mode for the backend. For detals about load balancing modes, see documentation. ROUND_ROBIN: Round robin load balancing mode. All endpoints of the backend take their turns to receive requests attributed to the backend. RANDOM: Random load balancing mode. Default value. For a request attributed to the backend, an endpoint that receives it is picked at random. LEAST_REQUEST: Least request load balancing mode. To pick an endpoint that receives a request attributed to the backend, the power of two choices algorithm is used; that is, two endpoints are picked at random, and the request is sent to the one which has the fewest active requests. MAGLEV_HASH: Maglev hashing load balancing mode, used only if session affinity is working for the backend group. Each endpoint is hashed, and a hash table with 65537 rows is filled accordingly, so that every endpoint occupies the same amount of rows. An attribute of each request, specified in session affinity configuration of the backend group, is also hashed by the same function. The row with the same number as the resulting value is looked up in the table to determine the endpoint that receives the request. If session affinity is not working for the backend group (i.e. it is not configured or the group contains more than one backend with positive weight), endpoints for backends with MAGLEV_HASH load balancing mode are picked at RANDOM instead.

session_affinity	oneof: connection, header or cookie Session affinity configuration for the backend group. For details about the concept, see documentation. If session affinity is configured, the backend group should contain exactly one active backend (i.e. with positive GrpcBackend.backend_weight), and its LoadBalancingConfig.load_balancing_mode should be MAGLEV_HASH. If any of these conditions are not met, session affinity will not work.
connection	ConnectionSessionAffinity Connection-based session affinity configuration. For now, a connection is defined only by an IP address of the client.
header	HeaderSessionAffinity HTTP-header-field-based session affinity configuration.
cookie	CookieSessionAffinity Cookie-based session affinity configuration.

Field	Description
name	string Required. Name of the backend. Value must match the regular expression [a-z][-a-z0-9]{1,61}[a-z0-9].
backend_weight	google.protobuf.Int64Value Backend weight. Traffic is distributed between backends of a backend group according to their weights. Weights must be set either for all backends of a group or for none of them. Setting no weights is the same as setting equal non-zero weights for all backends. If the weight is non-positive, traffic is not sent to the backend.
load_balancing_config	LoadBalancingConfig Load balancing configuration for the backend.
port	int64 Port used by all targets to receive traffic. Acceptable values are 0 to 65535, inclusive.
backend_type	oneof: target_groups Reference to targets that belong to the backend. For now, targets are referenced via target groups.

If percentage of healthy backends in the group drops below threshold, panic mode will be activated and traffic will be routed to all backends, regardless of their health check status. This helps to avoid overloading healthy backends. For details about panic mode, see documentation. If the value is 0, panic mode will never be activated and traffic is routed only to healthy backends at all times. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.
locality_aware_routing_percent	int64 Percentage of traffic that a load balancer node sends to healthy backends in its availability zone. The rest is divided equally between other zones. For details about zone-aware routing, see documentation. If there are no healthy backends in an availability zone, all the traffic is divided between other zones. If strict_locality is true, the specified value is ignored. A load balancer node sends all the traffic within its availability zone, regardless of backends' health. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.
strict_locality	bool Specifies whether a load balancer node should only send traffic to backends in its availability zone, regardless of their health, and ignore backends in other zones.

All endpoints of the backend take their turns to receive requests attributed to the backend. RANDOM: Random load balancing mode. Default value. For a request attributed to the backend, an endpoint that receives it is picked at random. LEAST_REQUEST: Least request load balancing mode. To pick an endpoint that receives a request attributed to the backend, the power of two choices algorithm is used; that is, two endpoints are picked at random, and the request is sent to the one which has the fewest active requests. MAGLEV_HASH: Maglev hashing load balancing mode, used only if session affinity is working for the backend group. Each endpoint is hashed, and a hash table with 65537 rows is filled accordingly, so that every endpoint occupies the same amount of rows. An attribute of each request, specified in session affinity configuration of the backend group, is also hashed by the same function. The row with the same number as the resulting value is looked up in the table to determine the endpoint that receives the request. If session affinity is not working for the backend group (i.e. it is not configured or the group contains more than one backend with positive weight), endpoints for backends with MAGLEV_HASH load balancing mode are picked at RANDOM instead.

MAGLEV_HASH: Maglev hashing load balancing mode, used only if session affinity is working for the backend group. Each endpoint is hashed, and a hash table with 65537 rows is filled accordingly, so that every endpoint occupies the same amount of rows. An attribute of each request, specified in session affinity configuration of the backend group, is also hashed by the same function. The row with the same number as the resulting value is looked up in the table to determine the endpoint that receives the request.

If the value is 0, panic mode will never be activated and traffic is routed only to healthy backends at all times. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.
locality_aware_routing_percent	int64 Percentage of traffic that a load balancer node sends to healthy backends in its availability zone. The rest is divided equally between other zones. For details about zone-aware routing, see documentation. If there are no healthy backends in an availability zone, all the traffic is divided between other zones. If strict_locality is true, the specified value is ignored. A load balancer node sends all the traffic within its availability zone, regardless of backends' health. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.

All endpoints of the backend take their turns to receive requests attributed to the backend. RANDOM: Random load balancing mode. Default value. For a request attributed to the backend, an endpoint that receives it is picked at random. LEAST_REQUEST: Least request load balancing mode. To pick an endpoint that receives a request attributed to the backend, the power of two choices algorithm is used; that is, two endpoints are picked at random, and the request is sent to the one which has the fewest active requests. MAGLEV_HASH: Maglev hashing load balancing mode, used only if session affinity is working for the backend group. Each endpoint is hashed, and a hash table with 65537 rows is filled accordingly, so that every endpoint occupies the same amount of rows. An attribute of each request, specified in session affinity configuration of the backend group, is also hashed by the same function. The row with the same number as the resulting value is looked up in the table to determine the endpoint that receives the request. If session affinity is not working for the backend group (i.e. it is not configured or the group contains more than one backend with positive weight), endpoints for backends with MAGLEV_HASH load balancing mode are picked at RANDOM instead.

locality_aware_routing_percent	int64 Percentage of traffic that a load balancer node sends to healthy backends in its availability zone. The rest is divided equally between other zones. For details about zone-aware routing, see documentation. If there are no healthy backends in an availability zone, all the traffic is divided between other zones. If strict_locality is true, the specified value is ignored. A load balancer node sends all the traffic within its availability zone, regardless of backends' health. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.

All endpoints of the backend take their turns to receive requests attributed to the backend. RANDOM: Random load balancing mode. Default value. For a request attributed to the backend, an endpoint that receives it is picked at random. LEAST_REQUEST: Least request load balancing mode. To pick an endpoint that receives a request attributed to the backend, the power of two choices algorithm is used; that is, two endpoints are picked at random, and the request is sent to the one which has the fewest active requests. MAGLEV_HASH: Maglev hashing load balancing mode, used only if session affinity is working for the backend group. Each endpoint is hashed, and a hash table with 65537 rows is filled accordingly, so that every endpoint occupies the same amount of rows. An attribute of each request, specified in session affinity configuration of the backend group, is also hashed by the same function. The row with the same number as the resulting value is looked up in the table to determine the endpoint that receives the request. If session affinity is not working for the backend group (i.e. it is not configured or the group contains more than one backend with positive weight), endpoints for backends with MAGLEV_HASH load balancing mode are picked at RANDOM instead.

For a request attributed to the backend, an endpoint that receives it is picked at random. LEAST_REQUEST: Least request load balancing mode. To pick an endpoint that receives a request attributed to the backend, the power of two choices algorithm is used; that is, two endpoints are picked at random, and the request is sent to the one which has the fewest active requests. MAGLEV_HASH: Maglev hashing load balancing mode, used only if session affinity is working for the backend group. Each endpoint is hashed, and a hash table with 65537 rows is filled accordingly, so that every endpoint occupies the same amount of rows. An attribute of each request, specified in session affinity configuration of the backend group, is also hashed by the same function. The row with the same number as the resulting value is looked up in the table to determine the endpoint that receives the request.

backend_weight	google.protobuf.Int64Value Backend weight. Traffic is distributed between backends of a backend group according to their weights. Weights must be set either for all backends of a group or for none of them. Setting no weights is the same as setting equal non-zero weights for all backends. If the weight is non-positive, traffic is not sent to the backend.

tls	BackendTls Settings for TLS connections between load balancer nodes and backend targets. If specified, the load balancer establishes HTTPS (HTTP over TLS) connections with targets and compares received certificates with the one specified in BackendTls.validation_context. If not specified, the load balancer establishes unencrypted HTTP connections with targets.

LoadBalancingConfig

Field	Description

If percentage of healthy backends in the group drops below threshold, panic mode will be activated and traffic will be routed to all backends, regardless of their health check status. This helps to avoid overloading healthy backends. For details about panic mode, see documentation. If the value is 0, panic mode will never be activated and traffic is routed only to healthy backends at all times. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.
locality_aware_routing_percent	int64 Percentage of traffic that a load balancer node sends to healthy backends in its availability zone. The rest is divided equally between other zones. For details about zone-aware routing, see documentation. If there are no healthy backends in an availability zone, all the traffic is divided between other zones. If strict_locality is true, the specified value is ignored. A load balancer node sends all the traffic within its availability zone, regardless of backends' health. Default value: 0. Acceptable values are 0 to 100, inclusive.
strict_locality	bool Specifies whether a load balancer node should only send traffic to backends in its availability zone, regardless of their health, and ignore backends in other zones.

If strict_locality is true, the value specified in locality_aware_routing_percent is ignored. Default value: false.
mode	enum LoadBalancingMode Load balancing mode for the backend. For detals about load balancing modes, see documentation. ROUND_ROBIN: Round robin load balancing mode. All endpoints of the backend take their turns to receive requests attributed to the backend. RANDOM: Random load balancing mode. Default value. For a request attributed to the backend, an endpoint that receives it is picked at random. LEAST_REQUEST: Least request load balancing mode. To pick an endpoint that receives a request attributed to the backend, the power of two choices algorithm is used; that is, two endpoints are picked at random, and the request is sent to the one which has the fewest active requests. MAGLEV_HASH: Maglev hashing load balancing mode, used only if session affinity is working for the backend group. Each endpoint is hashed, and a hash table with 65537 rows is filled accordingly, so that every endpoint occupies the same amount of rows. An attribute of each request, specified in session affinity configuration of the backend group, is also hashed by the same function. The row with the same number as the resulting value is looked up in the table to determine the endpoint that receives the request. If session affinity is not working for the backend group (i.e. it is not configured or the group contains more than one backend with positive weight), endpoints for backends with MAGLEV_HASH load balancing mode are picked at RANDOM instead.

target_group_ids[]	string List of ID's of target groups that belong to the backend. To get the ID's of all available target groups, make a TargetGroupService.List request. The number of elements must be greater than 0.

HealthCheck

Field	Description
timeout	google.protobuf.Duration Required. Health check timeout. The timeout is the time allowed for the target to respond to a check. If the target doesn't respond in time, the check is considered failed.
interval	google.protobuf.Duration Required. Base interval between consecutive health checks.
interval_jitter_percent	double
healthy_threshold	int64 Number of consecutive successful health checks required to mark an unhealthy target as healthy. Both 0 and 1 values amount to one successful check required. The value is ignored when a load balancer is initialized; a target is marked healthy after one successful check. Default value: 0.
unhealthy_threshold	int64 Number of consecutive failed health checks required to mark a healthy target as unhealthy. Both 0 and 1 values amount to one unsuccessful check required. The value is ignored if a health check is failed due to an HTTP 503 Service Unavailable response from the target (not applicable to TCP stream health checks). The target is immediately marked unhealthy. Default value: 0.
healthcheck_port	int64 Port used for health checks. If not specified, the backend port (HttpBackend.port or GrpcBackend.port) is used for health checks. Acceptable values are 0 to 65535, inclusive.
healthcheck	oneof: stream, http or grpc Protocol-specific health check settings. The protocols of the backend and of its health check may differ, e.g. a gRPC health check may be specified for an HTTP backend.
stream	StreamHealthCheck TCP stream health check settings.
http	HttpHealthCheck HTTP health check settings.
grpc	GrpcHealthCheck gRPC health check settings.

StreamHealthCheck

Field	Description
send	Payload Message sent to targets during TCP data transfer. If not specified, no data is sent to the target.
receive	Payload Data that must be contained in the messages received from targets for a successful health check. If not specified, no messages are expected from targets, and those that are received are not checked.

HttpHealthCheck

Field	Description
host	string Value for the HTTP/1.1 Host header or the HTTP/2 :authority pseudo-header used in requests to targets.
path	string Required. HTTP path used in requests to targets: request URI for HTTP/1.1 request line or value for the HTTP/2 :path pseudo-header.
use_http2	bool Enables HTTP/2 usage in health checks. Default value: false, HTTP/1.1 is used.

GrpcHealthCheck

Field	Description
service_name	string Name of the gRPC service to be checked. If not specified, overall health is checked. For details about the concept, see GRPC Health Checking Protocol.

BackendTls

Field	Description
sni	string Server Name Indication (SNI) string for TLS connections.
validation_context	ValidationContext Validation context for TLS connections.

ValidationContext

Field	Description
trusted_ca	oneof: trusted_ca_id or trusted_ca_bytes TLS certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA).
trusted_ca_id	string TLS certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA).
trusted_ca_bytes	string X.509 certificate contents in PEM format.

ConnectionSessionAffinity

Field	Description
source_ip	bool Specifies whether an IP address of the client is used to define a connection for session affinity.

ListOperations

Lists operations for the specified backend group.

rpc ListOperations (ListBackendGroupOperationsRequest) returns (ListBackendGroupOperationsResponse)

ListBackendGroupOperationsRequest

Field	Description
backend_group_id	string Required. ID of the backend group to get operations for. To get the backend group ID, use a BackendGroupService.List request. The maximum string length in characters is 50.
page_size	int64 The maximum number of results per page that should be returned. If the number of available results is larger than page_size, the service returns a ListBackendGroupOperationsResponse.next_page_token that can be used to get the next page of results in subsequent list requests. Default value: 100. The maximum value is 1000.
page_token	string Page token. To get the next page of results, set page_token to the ListBackendGroupOperationsResponse.next_page_token returned by a previous list request. The maximum string length in characters is 100.

ListBackendGroupOperationsResponse

Field	Description
operations[]	operation.Operation List of operations for the specified backend group.
next_page_token	string Token for getting the next page of the list. If the number of results is greater than the specified ListBackendGroupOperationsRequest.page_size, use next_page_token as the value for the ListBackendGroupOperationsRequest.page_token parameter in the next list request. Each subsequent page will have its own next_page_token to continue paging through the results.

Operation

Field	Description
id	string ID of the operation.
description	string Description of the operation. 0-256 characters long.
created_at	google.protobuf.Timestamp Creation timestamp.
created_by	string ID of the user or service account who initiated the operation.
modified_at	google.protobuf.Timestamp The time when the Operation resource was last modified.
done	bool If the value is false, it means the operation is still in progress. If true, the operation is completed, and either error or response is available.
metadata	google.protobuf.Any Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains the ID of the target resource that the operation is performed on. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.
result	oneof: error or response The operation result. If done == false and there was no failure detected, neither error nor response is set. If done == false and there was a failure detected, error is set. If done == true, exactly one of error or response is set.
error	google.rpc.Status The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.
response	google.protobuf.Any The normal response of the operation in case of success. If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete, the response is google.protobuf.Empty. If the original method is the standard Create/Update, the response should be the target resource of the operation. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the response type, if any.
