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: 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. Click Change compartment to apply the policy to a load balancer in a different compartment.

      • Select Show tagging options to add tagging to the acceleration. See Tagging Resources for more information.

    5. Select Create accelerator.

    The web application acceleration policy's Details page opens, displaying the acceleration 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.
