IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS) is a software-defined, flexible, and expandable object storage solution. In combination with a Progress Kemp load balancer, an IBM COS solution can provide object storage using the S3 protocol.

Document Purpose

This deployment guide provides instructions on how to configure the LoadMaster to load balance IBM Cloud Object Storage Accesser Nodes using Progress Kemp application templates. You should only use this guide as a reference for the load balancing configuration of COS services because each environment is unique and may have different requirements. This guide outlines the load balancing configuration using standard ports (80 and 443) in the Progress Kemp application templates, but you can also leverage IBM COS custom ports based on the environment.
