A company runs a mix of HTTP and TCP-based services. They want to use a single load balancing solution to handle both types of traffic. Which type of load balancer should they choose?

A hardware load balancer that is not cloud-based

An application load balancer that only supports HTTP

A network load balancer that supports TCP and HTTP

Which benefit is directly achieved by implementing load balancing in a network architecture?

Improving application performance and user experience by reducing response times.

Guaranteeing that no server ever fails.

Eliminating the need for any network security measures.

Ensuring that all servers in the pool have identical hardware specifications.

A company runs a critical database on a single VM. They want to implement redundancy to protect against hardware failure. They have a limited budget and cannot afford a second VM. What is the most cost-effective redundancy strategy?

Use a load balancer with health checks

Use automated backups to a different storage location

Deploy a second VM in a different availability zone

A company runs a web application on multiple VMs. They want to ensure that if one VM fails, the remaining VMs continue to serve traffic. What is the primary benefit of placing a load balancer in front of the VMs?

It provides automatic failover by directing traffic only to healthy VMs

It eliminates the need for multiple VMs

It provides a single point of failure for the application

It increases the processing power of each VM

What is the purpose of defining a 'cool-down period' in an autoscaling policy?

To prevent rapid, repeated scaling actions that could cause instability.

To give administrators time to manually approve scaling actions.

To ensure that new instances are fully configured before receiving traffic.

To reduce the cost of scaling by delaying actions until off-peak hours.
