A Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) must know how to perform load balancing within the data center, both internally and externally. In this course, you’ll learn about load balancing, including various methods for balancing loads in the data center.
You’ll begin by examining what data center load balancing is and its importance to performance, as well as load balancing policies. You’ll then learn how to deal with unhealthy tasks using flow control, and tips and tricks for optimizing load balancing. Next, you’ll examine methods for limiting connection pools with subsetting, and the various load balancing components. Lastly, you’ll learn how to balance loads internally and externally using HTTPS and TCP/UDP, and how to balance loads using SSL and TCP proxy load balancing.
