DigitalOcean-public.v2-new_Load Balancers

Add Droplets to a Load Balancer

To assign a Droplet to a load balancer instance, send a POST request to /v2/load_balancers/$LOAD_BALANCER_ID/droplets. In the body of the request, there should be a droplet_ids attribute containing a list of Droplet IDs. Individual Droplets can not be added to a load balancer configured with a Droplet tag. Attempting to do so will result in a "422 Unprocessable Entity" response from the API.

No response body will be sent back, but the response code will indicate success. Specifically, the response code will be a 204, which means that the action was successful with no returned body data.
