Hank is the network administrator responsible for managing the web server cluster for an e-commerce company. He’s worried about failover and load-balancing. He would like to use all the servers in the cluster to accomplish load-balancing. What would best accomplish this?

If one load balancer fails, the secondary picks up the failure and becomes active. They have a heartbeat link between them that monitors status. If all load balancers fail (or are accidentally misconfigured), servers down-stream are knocked offline until the problem is resolved, or you manually route around them.

Explanation:

Load balancing is a technique of distributing your requests over a network when your server is maxing out the CPU or disk or database IO rate. The objective of load balancing is optimizing resource use and minimizing response time, thereby avoiding overburden of any one of the resources.

The goal of failover is the ability to continue the work of a particular network component or the whole server, by another, should the first one fail. Failover allows you to perform maintenance of individual servers or nodes, without any interruption of your services.

It is important to note that load balancing and failover systems may not be the same, but they go hand in hand in helping you achieve high availability.

okay, so i know we just goofed around in that chat, but ive been like genuinly depressed, like medically depressed for almost 4 years now. i had my first panic attack when i was 8. i woke my mum up and told her i felt like i was in a dream. like i was a goldfish in a bowl, looking at all these things going on around me and feeling . tiny. wort hless. and i now am now 17 y/o. i still feel those emotions daily. life used to go by so quick.like every day i would wake up and just like want to go back to bed cause i always felt like i was in the wrong place. i guess looking back, i was in the wrong state of mind. i took a expensive like nice trip to whyoming with my grandfather and ha ted it. like idk why. i would have loved it now, but i found myself writing in a journal everyday because i would forget what happened the day before, couldnt remember what i ate for like the previous meal. just my memory left me for the week i was there. worst feeling ive ever experienced.
