In this talk, I will show the audiences how to install and configure Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS) on openSUSE Leap. I will also share and give an example or demo to show you how easy it is to configuring Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS) with Horizon Dashboard and then benchmark it with ab (apache http server benchmarking tool) for load test.
