What is the purpose of sticky sessions (session affinity) on a load balancer?

To distribute traffic evenly across all targets

To encrypt all traffic between the client and the load balancer

To automatically fail over to a different target if one becomes unhealthy

To route all requests from a specific user to the same target instance

What is the primary benefit of using Route 53 latency-based routing with load balancers in multiple AWS regions?

It automatically scales load balancers in each region

It ensures that all traffic is routed to a single region for simplicity

It routes users to the region with the lowest network latency

It provides a static IP address for the load balancer

What is the primary benefit of horizontal scaling (adding more instances) compared to vertical scaling (increasing instance size) for a load-balanced application?

Horizontal scaling requires no changes to the application code

Horizontal scaling eliminates the need for a load balancer

Horizontal scaling provides near-unlimited scalability by adding more instances

Horizontal scaling reduces the need for health checks
