Question

Kubernetes load balancer sticky sessions TTL

I was reading the sticky session docs here https://docs.digitalocean.com/glossary/sticky-session/ and I want to configure do-loadbalancer-sticky-sessions-cookie-ttl, but it’s unclear what the time unit is here. Is it fair to assume this is seconds not minutes?

Hi there,

Indeed, I believe that you are correct, this should be in seconds, as if you run doctl compute load-balancer list you would get the following:

ID                                      IP    Name                                Status    Created At              Algorithm            Region    Tag    Droplet IDs                   SSL      Sticky Sessions                                Health Check                                                                                                                     Forwarding Rules

Mainly this part here: cookie_ttl_seconds:0.

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
