8.1 Organization of this chapter

By using a load balancer, you can use its functionality to manage multiple servers with a single virtual IP address for efficient traffic distribution and improved performance. You can control load balancers by using the application server's operation management functionality.

This chapter describes the settings required to control the load balancers, directly through the API, using the operation management functionality.

The table below shows the organization of this chapter.
