Manual Intervention
Manual intervention refers to the human action required to solve and handle a load balancer crash. To handle a load balancer crash quickly, in particular during planned maintenance or unexpected failures, make sure your operations team is prepared and trained to handle manual failovers.
How to handle a Load Balancer crash?
Load Balancer crash refers to a sudden failure of a load-balancing system that helps in distributing the network traffic across multiple servers and resources of a system.
This crash disrupts the even and balanced distribution of traffic and resources, which leads to service outages and more amount of pressure or strain on the remaining resources, which leads to other potential failures. Some of the ways to prevent or handle Load Balancer crashes are:
