INTELLIGENT LOAD BALANCER SELECTION IN A MULTI-LOAD BALANCER ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating, by a computer system, a user interface for deploying a virtual IP address (VIP) on a load balancer in a network environment, wherein the network environment includes a plurality of load balancers, and wherein the user interface presents a plurality of criteria for selecting one of the plurality of load balancers;
receiving, by the computer system from a user, a selection of one or more of the plurality of criteria;
collecting, by the computer system from each load balancer in the plurality of load balancers, statistics that are relevant to the one or more criteria; and
selecting, by the computer system, a load balancer from among the plurality of load balancers based on the one or more criteria and the collected statistics.

Abstract
Techniques for performing intelligent load balancer selection in a multi-load balancer environment are provided. In one embodiment, a computer system can generate a user interface for deploying a virtual IP address (VIP) on a load balancer in a network environment, where the network environment includes a plurality of load balancers, and where the user interface presents a plurality of criteria for selecting one of the plurality of load balancers. The computer system can further receive, from a user, a selection of one or more of the plurality of criteria, and can collect, from each load balancer in the plurality of load balancers, statistics that are relevant to the one or more criteria. The computer system can then select a load balancer from among the plurality of load balancers based on the one or more criteria and the collected statistics.

20. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to; generate a user interface for deploying a virtual IP address (VIP) on a load balancer in a network environment, wherein the network environment includes a plurality of load balancers, and wherein the user interface presents a plurality of criteria for selecting one of the plurality of load balancers; receive, from a user, a selection of one or more of the plurality of criteria; collect, from each load balancer in the plurality of load balancers, statistics that are relevant to the one or more criteria; and select a load balancer from among the plurality of load balancers based on the one or more criteria and the collected statistics.
