Migrating services from an NLB to an L7 ALB to enable Yandex Smart Web Security protection

You can deploy services in Yandex Cloud using a Yandex Network Load Balancer which distributes traffic across cloud resources. With Yandex Smart Web Security, you can protect them from DDoS attacks at the application level. To do this, migrate from your Network Load Balancer to an L7 Yandex Application Load Balancer.

Service migration depends on what targets your Network Load Balancer is using or what it actually does in your infrastructure:

• Uses VM instances as targets
• Uses instance groups as targets
• Uses a Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster as a targets
• Acts as a target for Application Load Balancer
