Creating a Web Application Acceleration Policy

Create a web application acceleration policy to speed up traffic on your layer 7 HTTP load balancers by applying a combination of caching and compression.

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 Create WAA policy.

      If you need help finding the list page or the web application acceleration policy, see Listing Policies.

    2. Enter the following information:

      • Name: Enter the name for the web application acceleration.

      • Compartment: Select the compartment where you're creating the web application acceleration policy from the list.

      • Caching: Select to enable caching for the web application acceleration policy.

      • Compression: Select to enable compression for the web application acceleration policy.

    3. Create one or more acceleration: Select a load balancer from the list to create an acceleration.

      The web application acceleration policy you create is applied to the load balancer you select. This task provides the same result as described in Creating an Acceleration.

    4. Select +Additional accelerator to display another row where you can select another load balancer to which the web application acceleration policy is applied.
    5. Select Show tagging options.

      The tagging options appear where you can apply tags to the resource. See Tagging a Web Application Acceleration Policy at Creation for more information about using tagging with a web application acceleration policy. See Tagging Overview for general information about tagging.

    6. Select Create WAA policy.

    The web application acceleration policy list displays the web application acceleration policy you created.

  • Use the oci waa web-app-acceleration-policy create command and required parameters to create a web application acceleration policy:

    oci waa web-app-acceleration-policy create --compartment-id compartment_ocid [OPTIONS]

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

  • Run the CreateWebAppAccelerationPolicy operation to create a web application acceleration policy.
