Add a Vultr Compute or Bare Metal instance from the same region to a Load Balancer so it receives traffic.
A Load Balancer distributes incoming traffic across multiple instances to improve performance, increase availability, and provide failover support. To function correctly, instances within the same geographic region must be attached to the Vultr Load Balancer.
Follow this guide to attach an instance to a Vultr Load Balancer on your Vultr account using the Vultr Console, API, CLI, or Terraform.
Vultr Load Balancer can be attached to both Vultr Compute (VMs) and Vultr Bare Metal servers.
Navigate to Network and click Load Balancers.
Click your target Load Balancer to open its Manage page.
Expand the Resources section.
Click the expand toggle next to the location where you want to attach instances, such as New York, US. The row displays a Primary badge on the primary location and the current instance count in the Instances column.
Under Instances in LOCATION, click Add Instances. The Add Instances in LOCATION panel opens on the right.
Select the checkbox next to each instance you want to attach. The panel lists each instance by name and UUID, and updates the Selected instances counter as you select them.
The panel only lists instances deployed in the same location as the Load Balancer. Use the Search field to filter longer lists.
Click Save Changes.
Verify the attachment under Instances in LOCATION. The table lists each attached instance with its name, UUID, IPv4 address, and IPv6 address, and the Instances count on the location row increases to match.
Replace LOCATION with the geographic location of your Load Balancer, such as New York, US.
