Cluster Provided Load Balancing Policy (proto)
==============================================

.. _extension_envoy.load_balancing_policies.cluster_provided:

This extension has the qualified name ``envoy.load_balancing_policies.cluster_provided``


.. note::
  

  This extension is intended to be robust against both untrusted downstream and
  upstream traffic.

.. tip::
  This extension extends and can be used with the following extension category:


  - :ref:`envoy.load_balancing_policies <extension_category_envoy.load_balancing_policies>`



  This extension must be configured with one of the following type URLs:



  - :ref:`type.googleapis.com/envoy.extensions.load_balancing_policies.cluster_provided.v3.ClusterProvided <envoy_v3_api_msg_extensions.load_balancing_policies.cluster_provided.v3.ClusterProvided>`







.. _envoy_v3_api_msg_extensions.load_balancing_policies.cluster_provided.v3.ClusterProvided:

extensions.load_balancing_policies.cluster_provided.v3.ClusterProvided
----------------------------------------------------------------------


:repo:`[extensions.load_balancing_policies.cluster_provided.v3.ClusterProvided proto] <api/envoy/extensions/load_balancing_policies/cluster_provided/v3/cluster_provided.proto#L22>`

The cluster provided load balancing policy allows cluster to specify its own load balancing.
If this extension is configured, the target cluster must provide load balancer when the cluster
is created.

.. note::
  Cluster provided load balancing policy could not be used as sub-policy of other hierarchical
  load balancing policies, such as subset load balancing policy.
