What is a health check in the context of load balancer configuration?

A backup of the load balancer configuration

A security scan to detect vulnerabilities on the load balancer

A periodic test to verify that a backend server is responding correctly

A method to encrypt traffic between the load balancer and servers

A company runs a web application on multiple servers. They want to ensure that if one server fails, the application remains available. They also want to distribute incoming traffic evenly across the servers. Which solution BEST meets both requirements?

A failover cluster with a passive node

A load balancer with health checks

A single server with redundant power supplies

A storage area network (SAN) with replication

Which component is essential for a failover cluster to share data between nodes?

Shared storage, such as a SAN or a cluster-aware file system

A dedicated network switch for management traffic only

A hypervisor to manage virtual machines

A public IP address for each node

An administrator is configuring a two-node failover cluster. The cluster will use a witness disk for quorum. The witness disk is on shared storage. During a network partition, the two nodes lose communication with each other but both can still access the witness disk. What is the outcome?

The cluster will automatically restart the failed node

Both nodes will continue to run, but only one will own the cluster resources

The cluster will continue to run on both nodes without any issues

Both nodes will shut down to prevent data corruption
