# About the Load Balancer

Segura™ has a self-made load balancer to interface all Segura™ instances running into cluster schema. The **Segura™ Load Balancer** is a ready-to-deploy and ready-to-use solution configured to give the best performance over Segura™ functionalities.

The Load Balacer will be capable of handling all requests/traffic from Segura™ whitin the specifications provided by the manufacturer in its implementation.

## **Technical information**

### **Minimum requirements**

- 4GB RAM.
- 2 vCPUs (4 vCPUs recommended).
- 40GB vHD.

It’ll use the same SSL certificate installed in Segura™ instances. There isn’t a need to install a particular SSL certificate for the load balancer.

As it is a tailor-made product for balancing the Segura™, the **Segura™ Load Balancer** has a very specific optimization and should not be used to balance other applications. Therefore, we do not offer the option of changing the customer's balancing and/or monitoring methods. It uses the **least connection** algorithm for balancing mode.
