DEVOPS Exam - Question 42


A developer wants to deploy a highly available web server cluster and decides to put a load balancer in front of multiple clustered nodes that run the same web service. The goal is for the load balancer to take in users and distribute the load across the whole cluster.

What kind of high-availability configuration is the developer running?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The developer is running an active-active high-availability configuration. In this setup, multiple nodes are active simultaneously, and the load balancer distributes the incoming requests across all active nodes. This ensures that the system can handle more traffic and provides better fault tolerance since there is no single point of failure; if one node goes down, the load can still be managed by the remaining active nodes.
