Load balancing algorithms
So far, we've touched on a few load balancing algorithms, so let's explore the more common approaches in a bit more detail (note that this list is not exhaustive; just the most commonly seen methods have been provided here):
Least Connections, as you may expect, is the most often assigned algorithm. We'll use this method in the configuration examples later in this chapter.
Now that we've seen some options for how to balance a workload, how can we make sure that those backend servers are working correctly?
