What is SSL/TLS termination and does LBaaS support it?

Yes, IP ServerOne’s load balancer fully supports SSL/TLS termination, making the SSL offloading process easier. SSL offloading is the practice of handling the complex task of decrypting encrypted web traffic (HTTPS) at the load balancer before forwarding it to the web servers. This not only simplifies the encryption process for the servers but also provides benefits such as improved server performance and reduced CPU usage, ultimately enhancing the overall efficiency of your web applications. You can choose either a self-signed certificate, Let’s Encrypt certificate, or your own certificate by entering the SSL Certificate and Private Key during provisioning of the load balancer.
