Key features

Built to handle the rush

Enterprise-grade capabilities without the enterprise complexity. Your network, your rules.

01

Always-on performance

A 99.95% uptime SLA, active health checks, and automatic failover keep your applications responsive even when individual nodes go down. Built-in DDoS protection shields you from traffic floods before they reach your services.

02

Kubernetes-native by design

Expose a Service of type LoadBalancer and configure everything from your cluster with annotations and labels. No separate consoles, no context switching. Internal and external load balancers work the way Kubernetes expects them to.

03

Deploy in seconds, not hours

Launch from the Civo dashboard in a few clicks, or automate everything through our API, CLI, and Terraform provider. Whatever your workflow looks like, we fit into it.

04

Predictable costs, always

$10 per month per 10,000 concurrent connections. Free unlimited data transfer. No egress fees, no per-rule charges, no surprise bills at the end of the month.

05

Your keys, your control

Terminate TLS where it belongs: on your own instances and clusters. The load balancer passes encrypted traffic straight through to your backends, and cert-manager handles certificates inside your cluster. Your keys never leave your environment.

06

Scale when you need to

Need more headroom? Scale your load balancer up to add capacity when traffic grows. You choose the size, so you only pay for what you've provisioned, with no surprise overage.

07

Deploy in any region

Spin up load balancers in any Civo region worldwide and run them close to your users for low-latency performance. Each load balancer operates within its own region, so you stay in full control of where your traffic lives.
