Internal
Internal load balancer for the Rack, enabling private service routing within the VPC. See Internal Services for more information.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Default value | No |
| Allowed values | Yes, No |
Use Cases
- Enabling internal routing for Services that should only be accessible within the VPC, such as backend APIs or microservices
- Supporting a mix of public-facing and internal-only applications on the same Rack
- Restricting access to sensitive Services while keeping other Services publicly routable
Additional Information
When set to Yes, Convox creates an additional internal (non-internet-facing) Application Load Balancer. Services can then be configured as internal in convox.yml to route traffic only through this internal ALB.
This is different from InternalOnly, which removes the public-facing router entirely. With Internal set to Yes, the Rack supports both public and internal Services simultaneously.
