SSL Termination
Many load balancers support SSL termination, where they handle the encryption and decryption of SSL/TLS traffic on behalf of the backend servers. This offloading of SSL processing from the servers can improve overall system performance.
How does a Load Balancer Works?
A load balancer is a crucial component in system design, ensuring that incoming network traffic is efficiently distributed across multiple servers or resources. The primary goal is to optimize resource utilization, enhance system performance, and ensure high availability and fault tolerance. The fundamental mechanism of a load balancer involves intelligently routing incoming requests to a pool of backend servers, preventing any single server from becoming overwhelmed with traffic.
Here’s a breakdown of how a load balancer works:
