Load balancing is essential for distributing incoming network traffic across multiple backend servers to ensure high availability, reliability, and performance. In iVolve-Cloud, the Load Balancers module consists of three key components:
- Load Balancers – The main entry point that distributes traffic.
- Listeners – Define how traffic is received on the load balancer.
- Pools – A group of backend servers that handle the requests.
A Pool is a collection of backend servers that process requests forwarded by the Listener. The Load Balancer distributes traffic to the servers in a Pool based on the configured Load Balancing Algorithm.
