An e-commerce site has three backend servers in an upstream block. The servers have different capacities: two are older with 2GB RAM and one is newer with 8GB RAM. The admin wants to distribute traffic proportionally to capacity. Which approach should be used?

Use least_conn to send traffic to the server with the fewest active connections.

Use the default round-robin method and add the weight parameter to the newer server.

Use the hash directive with the request URI.

Use ip_hash to ensure sessions stick to the same server.

What is the purpose of an upstream block in NGINX configuration?

To specify the maximum upload size for client requests

To set the timezone used for log timestamps

To define the SSL certificate and key for HTTPS connections

To define a group of backend servers that can be referenced by proxy_pass
