What is a Load Balancer? A load balancer acts as the “traffic cop” 

sitting in front of your servers and routing client requests across 

all servers capable of fulfilling those requests in a manner that 

maximizes speed and capacity utilization and ensures that no one server 

is overworked, which could degrade performance. 

​

If a single server goes down, the load balancer redirects 

traffic to the remaining online servers. When a new server 

is added to the server group, the load balancer automatically 

starts to send requests to it.
