Network Load Balancers now support IPv6. You can create an IPv6 Network Load Balancer in the Exoscale Portal or with the Exoscale CLI. An IPv6 Network Load Balancer gets a public IPv6 address and distributes TCP and UDP traffic across the instances in your Instance Pools, just like an IPv4 Network Load Balancer. Why use it Lower cost: Elastic IPv6 addresses are free, so you only pay the load balancer fee. An IPv6 Network Load Balancer costs EUR/CHF/USD 0.02083 per hour, about 40% less than the IPv4 version. Check the pricing page for details. Reach IPv6 users directly: Serve users on IPv6-only and IPv6-first networks, natively and without translation layers. Go fully IPv6: Your instances already get a free public IPv6 address. Now the load balancer in front of them can be IPv6 too. Nothing to give up: Same health checks, load balancing strategies and 200 service limit as an IPv4 Network Load Balancer. Before you start The target Instance Pool must have IPv6 enabled (dual-stack). Instance Pools are IPv4 only by default, so set public IP assignment to dual-stack. Instances without an IPv6 address won’t receive traffic.
