Load balance traffic to your two application servers¶

Objective: Load balance traffic to your two application servers

Required Outcome:

• Traffic should be evenly distributed between the application servers

• Application must get the original client ip as an HTTP header

Why: Scaling application traffic, high availability ,progressive application version updates

How:

Follow the F5XC documentation https://docs.cloud.f5.com/docs/how-to/app-networking

Validation:

• How long did it take to complete the steps here?

• How long does it take to deploy the same load balancer configuration using automation?

• Run 100 requests (using Hey https://github.com/rakyll/hey or any other tool), was the traffic evenly distributed?

• What is the avarege latency of each one of your application servers?
