Does Vultr Load Balancer Support Automatic Failover?

Updated on 15 September, 2025

Load Balancers provide automatic failover through continuous health checks on attached instances to ensure high availability.


Yes. Vultr Load Balancers continuously perform health checks on attached instances to determine their availability. If an instance fails a health check, the load balancer automatically removes it from the routing pool and redirects traffic to other healthy instances. This automatic failover ensures that application traffic continues to flow without interruption, maintaining high availability even if one or more backend instances become unresponsive.
