Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive.

httpHeaderName
string
success
The hash based on the value of the specified header field.
This field is applicable if the sessionAffinity is set to HEADER_FIELD.

minimumRingSize
integer
success
The minimum number of virtual nodes to use for the hash ring.
Larger ring sizes result in more granular load distributions. If the number of hosts in the load balancing pool is larger than the ring size, each host will be assigned a single virtual node.
Defaults to 1024.

creationTimestamp
string
success
Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

description
string
success
An optional description of this resource.

enableCDN
boolean
success
If true, enable Cloud CDN for this RegionBackendService.

failoverPolicy
complex
success
Policy for failovers.

disableConnectionDrainOnFailover
boolean
success
On failover or failback, this field indicates whether connection drain will be honored. Setting this to true has the following effect: connections to the old active pool are not drained. Connections to the new active pool use the timeout of 10 min (currently fixed). Setting to false has the following effect: both old and new connections will have a drain timeout of 10 min.
This can be set to true only if the protocol is TCP.
The default is false.

dropTrafficIfUnhealthy
boolean
success
This option is used only when no healthy VMs are detected in the primary and backup instance groups. When set to true, traffic is dropped. When set to false, new connections are sent across all VMs in the primary group.
The default is false.

failoverRatio
string
success
The value of the field must be in [0, 1]. If the ratio of the healthy VMs in the primary backend is at or below this number, traffic arriving at the load-balanced IP will be directed to the failover backend.
In case where 'failoverRatio' is not set or all the VMs in the backup backend are unhealthy, the traffic will be directed back to the primary backend in the "force" mode, where traffic will be spread to the healthy VMs with the best effort, or to all VMs when no VM is healthy.
This field is only used with l4 load balancing.

fingerprint
string
success
Fingerprint of this resource. A hash of the contents stored in this object. This field is used in optimistic locking.

healthChecks
list / elements=string
success
The set of URLs to HealthCheck resources for health checking this RegionBackendService. Currently at most one health check can be specified. A health check must be specified unless the backend service uses an internet or serverless NEG as a backend.

id
integer
success
The unique identifier for the resource.

loadBalancingScheme
string
success
Indicates what kind of load balancing this regional backend service will be used for. A backend service created for one type of load balancing cannot be used with the other(s).

localityLbPolicy
string
success
The load balancing algorithm used within the scope of the locality.
The possible values are - * ROUND_ROBIN - This is a simple policy in which each healthy backend is selected in round robin order.
* LEAST_REQUEST - An O(1) algorithm which selects two random healthy hosts and picks the host which has fewer active requests.
* RING_HASH - The ring/modulo hash load balancer implements consistent hashing to backends. The algorithm has the property that the addition/removal of a host from a set of N hosts only affects 1/N of the requests.
* RANDOM - The load balancer selects a random healthy host.
* ORIGINAL_DESTINATION - Backend host is selected based on the client connection metadata, i.e., connections are opened to the same address as the destination address of the incoming connection before the connection was redirected to the load balancer.
* MAGLEV - used as a drop in replacement for the ring hash load balancer.
Maglev is not as stable as ring hash but has faster table lookup build times and host selection times. For more information about Maglev, refer to https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub44824 This field is applicable only when the `load_balancing_scheme` is set to INTERNAL_MANAGED and the `protocol` is set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2.

logConfig
complex
success
This field denotes the logging options for the load balancer traffic served by this backend service.
If logging is enabled, logs will be exported to Stackdriver.

enable
boolean
success
Whether to enable logging for the load balancer traffic served by this backend service.

sampleRate
string
success
This field can only be specified if logging is enabled for this backend service. The value of the field must be in [0, 1]. This configures the sampling rate of requests to the load balancer where 1.0 means all logged requests are reported and 0.0 means no logged requests are reported.
The default value is 1.0.

name
string
success
Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?` which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

network
dictionary
success
The URL of the network to which this backend service belongs.
This field can only be specified when the load balancing scheme is set to INTERNAL.

outlierDetection
complex
success
Settings controlling eviction of unhealthy hosts from the load balancing pool.
This field is applicable only when the `load_balancing_scheme` is set to INTERNAL_MANAGED and the `protocol` is set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2.

baseEjectionTime
complex
success
The base time that a host is ejected for. The real time is equal to the base time multiplied by the number of times the host has been ejected. Defaults to 30000ms or 30s.

nanos
integer
success
Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 `seconds` field and a positive `nanos` field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

seconds
integer
success
Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive.

consecutiveErrors
integer
success

Defaults to 5.

consecutiveGatewayFailure
integer
success
The number of consecutive gateway failures (502, 503, 504 status or connection errors that are mapped to one of those status codes) before a consecutive gateway failure ejection occurs. Defaults to 5.

enforcingConsecutiveErrors
integer
success
The percentage chance that a host will be actually ejected when an outlier status is detected through consecutive 5xx. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 100.

enforcingConsecutiveGatewayFailure
integer
success
The percentage chance that a host will be actually ejected when an outlier status is detected through consecutive gateway failures. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 0.

enforcingSuccessRate
integer
success
The percentage chance that a host will be actually ejected when an outlier status is detected through success rate statistics. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 100.

interval
complex
success
Time interval between ejection sweep analysis. This can result in both new ejections as well as hosts being returned to service. Defaults to 10 seconds.

nanos
integer
success
Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 `seconds` field and a positive `nanos` field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

seconds
integer
success
Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive.

maxEjectionPercent
integer
success
Maximum percentage of hosts in the load balancing pool for the backend service that can be ejected. Defaults to 10%.

successRateMinimumHosts
integer
success
The number of hosts in a cluster that must have enough request volume to detect success rate outliers. If the number of hosts is less than this setting, outlier detection via success rate statistics is not performed for any host in the cluster. Defaults to 5.

successRateRequestVolume
integer
success
The minimum number of total requests that must be collected in one interval (as defined by the interval duration above) to include this host in success rate based outlier detection. If the volume is lower than this setting, outlier detection via success rate statistics is not performed for that host. Defaults to 100.

successRateStdevFactor
integer
success
This factor is used to determine the ejection threshold for success rate outlier ejection. The ejection threshold is the difference between the mean success rate, and the product of this factor and the standard deviation of the mean success rate: mean - (stdev * success_rate_stdev_factor). This factor is divided by a thousand to get a double. That is, if the desired factor is 1.9, the runtime value should be 1900. Defaults to 1900.

portName
string
success
A named port on a backend instance group representing the port for communication to the backend VMs in that group. Required when the loadBalancingScheme is EXTERNAL, INTERNAL_MANAGED, or INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED and the backends are instance groups. The named port must be defined on each backend instance group. This parameter has no meaning if the backends are NEGs. API sets a default of "http" if not given.
Must be omitted when the loadBalancingScheme is INTERNAL (Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancing).

protocol
string
success
The protocol this RegionBackendService uses to communicate with backends.
The default is HTTP. **NOTE**: HTTP2 is only valid for beta HTTP/2 load balancer types and may result in errors if used with the GA API.

region
string
success
A reference to the region where the regional backend service resides.

sessionAffinity
string
success
Type of session affinity to use. The default is NONE. Session affinity is not applicable if the protocol is UDP.
