Configuring the balancer for the Raft cluster

The balancer in the Raft cluster distributes the load among the cluster nodes and provides a single entry point to the KUMA web interface, while also providing the ability to manage KUMA if one or more hosts with the KUMA Core service are unavailable or down.

We recommend using one of the following balancers:

• HAProxy Community Edition
• NGINX Open Source

You can use domain authentication via AD FS to avoid having to authenticate separately on each node of the Raft cluster. To do so:

1. Configure the balancer in the Raft cluster.
2. Specify the FQDN of the balancer in the AD FS settings.
3. In KUMA, configure domain authentication in KUMA via AD FS by specifying the FQDN of the balancer in the settings.
