Load balancing across multiple application instances is a commonly used technique for optimizing resource utilization, maximizing throughput, reducing latency, and ensuring fault‑tolerant configurations.
Load balancing in Nginx is configured using upstream directive.[1]
Network load balancer can provide service for different protocols, such as TCP, UDP, HTTP or HTTPS.
Typical options:
- Listening port
- FQDN
- Protocol: TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, Websockets
- Destination servers and destination port
- Load Balancing algorithm: WRR, weighted least connection, source IP hash
- Sticky session
