4.45 Adhesion to load balencer
The Adhesion to Load Balancer module in AWS is designed to improve the performance and reliability of applications running on the AWS infrastructure. Load balancing is a critical component of any distributed application, as it ensures that traffic is evenly distributed across multiple servers, preventing overloading and ensuring high availability. The Adhesion to Load Balancer module takes this a step further by providing a mechanism for ensuring that users are directed to the same server during their session, improving the performance of applications that require session persistence.
The module achieves this by using a combination of sticky sessions and session affinity. Sticky sessions ensure that users are directed to the same server throughout their session, while session affinity ensures that subsequent requests are directed to the same server based on the user's session ID. This approach ensures that users are always directed to the server that has their session data, improving the performance of applications that rely on session data.
Overall, the Adhesion to Load Balancer module in AWS is an essential tool for improving the performance and reliability of distributed applications. By ensuring that users are directed to the same server throughout their session, it improves the user experience and reduces the likelihood of service disruptions. Additionally, it provides a powerful tool for managing session data and improving the performance of applications that rely on it.
