Overview

Overview #

Load balancing is essential for distributing incoming network traffic across multiple backend servers to ensure high availability, reliability, and performance. In QCloud, the Load Balancers module consists of three key components:

1. Load Balancers – The main entry point that distributes traffic.
2. Listeners – Define how traffic is received on the load balancer.
3. Pools – A group of backend servers that handle the requests.

A Load Balancer distributes incoming network traffic across multiple backend servers, preventing overload on a single server and ensuring high availability.
