class AdaptiveRouting: … Controls features that modify the routing of requests to pools and origins in response to dynamic conditions, such as during the interval between active health monitoring requests. For example, zero-downtime failover occurs immediately when an origin becomes unavailable due to HTTP 521, 522, or 523 response codes. If there is another healthy origin in the same pool, the request is retried once against this alternate origin.

failover\_across\_pools: Optional\[bool] Extends zero-downtime failover of requests to healthy origins from alternate pools, when no healthy alternate exists in the same pool, according to the failover order defined by traffic and origin steering. When set false (the default) zero-downtime failover will only occur between origins within the same pool. See session_affinity_attributes for control over when sessions are broken or reassigned.

The supported types are: - "cookie": On the first request to a proxied load balancer, a cookie is generated, encoding information of which origin the request will be forwarded to. Subsequent requests, by the same client to the same load balancer, will be sent to the origin server the cookie encodes, for the duration of the cookie and as long as the origin server remains healthy. If the cookie has expired or the origin server is unhealthy, then a new origin server is calculated and used. - "ip_cookie": Behaves the same as "cookie" except the initial origin selection is stable and based on the client’s ip address. - "header": On the first request to a proxied load balancer, a session key based on the configured HTTP headers (see session_affinity_attributes.headers) is generated, encoding the request headers used for storing in the load balancer session state which origin the request will be forwarded to. Subsequent requests to the load balancer with the same headers will be sent to the same origin server, for the duration of the session and as long as the origin server remains healthy. If the session has been idle for the duration of session_affinity_ttl seconds or the origin server is unhealthy, then a new origin server is calculated and used. See headers in session_affinity_attributes for additional required configuration.

class SessionAffinityAttributes: … Configures attributes for session affinity.

drain\_duration: Optional\[float] Configures the drain duration in seconds. This field is only used when session affinity is enabled on the load balancer. Link to this property headers: Optional\[List\[str]] Configures the names of HTTP headers to base session affinity on when header session_affinity is enabled. At least one HTTP header name must be provided. To specify the exact cookies to be used, include an item in the following format: "cookie:<cookie-name-1>,<cookie-name-2>" (example) where everything after the colon is a comma-separated list of cookie names. Providing only "cookie" will result in all cookies being used. The default max number of HTTP header names that can be provided depends on your plan: 5 for Enterprise, 1 for all other plans. Link to this property require\_all\_headers: Optional\[bool] When header session_affinity is enabled, this option can be used to specify how HTTP headers on load balancing requests will be used. The supported values are: - "true": Load balancing requests must contain *all* of the HTTP headers specified by the headers session affinity attribute, otherwise sessions aren’t created. - "false": Load balancing requests must contain *at least one* of the HTTP headers specified by the headers session affinity attribute, otherwise sessions aren’t created.

samesite: Optional\[Literal\["Auto", "Lax", "None", "Strict"]] Configures the SameSite attribute on session affinity cookie. Value “Auto” will be translated to “Lax” or “None” depending if Always Use HTTPS is enabled. Note: when using value “None”, the secure attribute can not be set to “Never”.

secure: Optional\[Literal\["Auto", "Always", "Never"]] Configures the Secure attribute on session affinity cookie.

zero\_downtime\_failover: Optional\[Literal\["none", "temporary", "sticky"]] Configures the zero-downtime failover between origins within a pool when session affinity is enabled. This feature is currently incompatible with Argo, Tiered Cache, and Bandwidth Alliance. The supported values are: - "none": No failover takes place for sessions pinned to the origin (default). - "temporary": Traffic will be sent to another other healthy origin until the originally pinned origin is available; note that this can potentially result in heavy origin flapping. - "sticky": The session affinity cookie is updated and subsequent requests are sent to the new origin. Note: Zero-downtime failover with sticky sessions is currently not supported for session affinity by header.
