Creating an L7 load balancer in Yandex Application Load Balancer with a Yandex Smart Web Security profile

With Yandex Smart Web Security, you can protect your infrastructure against DDoS attacks and bots at the application layer (L7).

You will create a test web server, deploy an L7 Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic to the test web server, and protect this new infrastructure with a Smart Web Security security profile.

Use the following tools to create an infrastructure for your L7 Application Load Balancer with a security profile:

  • Management console: Use the Yandex Cloud management console to create your infrastructure step by step.
  • Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources using the infrastructure-as-code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example and deploy your infrastructure using the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider.
