Load Balancer Config

Configure load balancers for high availability with proper health checks, algorithms, and failover strategies.

Usage

Describe your application architecture and traffic requirements, and this skill will recommend and configure the appropriate load balancing setup.

Examples

• "Configure HAProxy for round-robin load balancing across 3 backends"
• "Set up an Nginx load balancer with sticky sessions"
• "Design a load balancing strategy for WebSocket connections"

Guidelines

• Choose the right algorithm based on your workload pattern
• Configure health checks with appropriate intervals and thresholds
• Enable connection draining for graceful backend removal
• Set up proper timeouts for different types of traffic
• Plan for SSL termination at the load balancer level
