Load Balancing Methods
Explore various load balancing methods such as round robin, least connections, weighted round robin, least response time, and IP hash. Understand how these strategies distribute workloads evenly across servers to enhance system performance, fault tolerance, and availability while maintaining session consistency when necessary.
We'll cover the following...
There are numerous load-balancing strategies that can be used to distribute the burden evenly across different servers or resources in order to improve a system’s performance and availability. Among these approaches are:
Round robin
This is a simple load balancing method that distributes the workload evenly across the available servers or resources by taking turns assigning requests to each server or resource in sequence. For example, if the cluster has three servers, the load balancer will allocate the first request to the first server, the second request to the second server, the third request to the third server, and so on until the fourth request is assigned to the first server.
