    Study Notes

    Load Balancer Functions

    • Distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure optimal resource use and prevent any single server from becoming overwhelmed.

    Load Balancing Algorithms

    • Least Connections algorithm considers the current server load by directing traffic to the server with the fewest active connections, enhancing performance and responsiveness.

    Benefits of Load Balancers

    • Improves reliability and uptime by rerouting traffic away from failed servers, facilitating continuous application availability in web application environments.

    CPU Virtualization Extensions

    • Enable efficient execution of multiple operating systems on a single physical CPU by providing hardware-level support for virtualization.

    Beneficiaries of CPU Virtualization Extensions

    • Virtual Machines (VMs) greatly benefit from CPU virtualization extensions, allowing them to operate more effectively and run multiple OS instances seamlessly.

    Key Features of CPU Virtualization Extensions

    • Provide enhanced performance through direct access to hardware resources, reducing overhead associated with software-based virtualization methods.
