Creating an Acceleration for a Web Application Acceleration Policy

Create an acceleration to bind a web application acceleration policy with a load balancer.

Note

The Web Application Acceleration cache automatically contains the newest cacheable content and is limited to 100 MB total by default. The cache size can be increased by opening a Service Request.

    1. On the Web Application Acceleration list page, select the web application acceleration policy that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the web application acceleration policy, see Listing Policies.
    2. On the details page, select Accelerations.

      All accelerations within the selected web application acceleration policy are displayed in a table.

    3. Select Create acceleration.
    4. Enter the following information:

      • Name: Enter a name for the acceleration.

      • Compartment: Select the compartment where the acceleration is contained.

      • Load balancer compartment: Select a compartment containing the load balancer you want to use from the list to create an acceleration. The web application acceleration policy you create is applied to the load balancer you select.

      • Load balancer: Select the load balancer you want to use from the list.

    Tags

    If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option or ask an administrator. You can apply tags later.

    Select Add acceleration to add and configure another acceleration to your web application acceleration policy.

    Select Create accelerations.

    The web application acceleration policy's Details page opens, displaying the accelerations you created in the Accelerations list.

  • Use the oci waa web-app-acceleration create-for-load-balancer command and required parameters to attach an acceleration to a web application acceleration policy:

    oci waa web-app-acceleration create-for-load-balancer --compartment-id compartment_ocid --web-app-acceleration-policy-id web_app_acceleration_policy_ocid --load-balancer-id load_balancer_ocid [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the CreateWebAppAcceleration operation to create an acceleration from a web application acceleration policy.
