Layer-7 routing rules on Load Balancer (Beta)
Load Balancer now supports path-based and host-based routing rules in addition to round-robin. Route /api/* to one backend pool and /* to another, all within a single LB.
Beta scope
- HTTP and HTTPS listeners
- Path prefix and exact match
- Host header routing
- Up to 50 rules per listener
Beta is opt-in for now — enable it from the LB settings page. Production SLAs apply once the feature exits beta.
