# ELBv2 API Coverage

## Overview

Spinifex implements **36 operations** in the ELBv2 `2015-12-01` API model.

### Two data planes

The data plane is a system-managed load balancer VM, launched automatically during `CreateLoadBalancer`. Application Load Balancers run HAProxy for the L7 surface — rules, fixed responses and redirects over HTTP and HTTPS. Network Load Balancers run nginx `stream` for the L4 surface — TCP, UDP, TLS and TCP_UDP — because HAProxy cannot load-balance UDP. The agent selects the engine from the configuration the control plane delivers, so the choice follows the load balancer type and is not separately configurable.
