Documentation

linode-nodebalancer

Managed Linode NodeBalancer (L4/L7 load balancer) with TLS-terminating HTTPS listeners, active health checks, session stickiness, and optional VPC-backed backends — in one apply. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), Linode provider >= 3.14, < 4.0.

Status: static-validated, live-test pending. This module ships under live-test quarantine: it has passed tofu fmt, tofu validate, and tflint, but the real apply → verify → destroy gate is pending a Linode sandbox account. Treat the secure defaults below as the contract.

Design & secure defaults

  • HTTPS by default. A config's protocol defaults to https, and the module requires ssl_cert + ssl_key for HTTPS listeners (enforced with a plan-time precondition). TLS material is sensitive.
  • Modern ciphers only. cipher_suite is pinned to recommended; the legacy suite (weak ciphers) is rejected by variable validation — opt-in would require a custom build, not a flag.
  • Health checking on by default. Every config gets active checks (check = "connection") plus passive checks (check_passive = true), so a failed backend is pulled out of rotation automatically.
  • Private-IP backends only. Every node address must be an RFC1918 private IP (validated). Public-IP backends are rejected — backend traffic stays on the private/VPC network.
  • proxy_protocol is TCP-scoped. The module silently neutralizes proxy_protocol on non-TCP configs so it can't be misapplied.
  • Firewalls stay out-of-band. Attach a Cloud Firewall via the linode-firewall module (linode_firewall_device) so rules and balancer lifecycle are decoupled.
  • Optional VPC backends. vpc_backend routes backend traffic over a VPC subnet (newer NodeBalancer feature) instead of the legacy private network.

Requirements

  • Terraform or OpenTofu >= 1.6
  • linode/linode provider >= 3.14, < 4.0
  • Backend nodes must already exist and be reachable on a private IP (or VPC subnet) before the balancer can mark them healthy.
  • VPC-backed backends are a newer Linode feature; confirm regional availability.
