Thank you so much for the provided information, we actually need a load balancer solution for our network environment and it is good to have your advice.
We are so happy to hear this! 🙏 Thank you for being our subscriber, Chika! 😉 What subject matters would you like to see covered here, that we haven't yet?
This video was so helpful im currently studying for the AWS SAA exam and wanted to get my details on this concept and this video was perfectly constructed.
Mustafa, the idea of a load balancer is that its only purpose is to distribute the number of active sessions among N number of servers that are supporting the workload for X number of clients. The load balancer itself is only used at the beginning of the session, it's not a constant intermediary point - its job is to assign the session to the least active backend server, and then to await the next session that needs to be instantiated. Now, that said, it is always best practice to size your load balancer deployment the same way that you would size your server deployment - you will need much higher performance for load balancers that can expect 5,000 simultaneous instantiations than you would for a workload that would only ever see 500 instantiations, for example.
Thanks for the vid! Interested in setting up a loan balancer on a cloud vm like Google, Azure or AWS will keep my eyes peeled for your videos thanks again 😊
gosh i hope this one helps me wrap my head around it i been trying to figure out the best way to setup my vcn for like a week and just cant understand it all
Really nice video. In my point of view, it could be pretty good to add labels to 1, 2 and 3 scenarios to better remember the classification. Also maybe good to explain why the random method could be fine according to math. It's not clear. Maybe the random method is not so simple and gets one of the servers which is loaded less than the average? :-) Absolute random approach is worse than rolling-robin in my vision.
Super Easy explanation thank you...! I have 1 question which I didn't understand completely about ( round robin ) why or how it will be unbalanced if someone entered for 2 min the other for 2 hours ?.
Note to self: Round Robin Algo is inefficient, if theres 3 server and each server has 3 users... server2 and server3 users is done using the app while server1 users are still using it, server2 and server3 is vacant (which should not be)
IBM, will you make a video specifically discussing load balancing providers? I see cloudfare used a lot when certain site mirrors time out or thow a network exception and expose the error message and host information ? This is not usually on clearnet. THX
Load balancing the millions of requests to the app servers are just great but what about the common database that the app servers are talking to ? Can't it be way overloaded with those million requests hitting that database or is it the autoscaling applies to db also
It's a whole topic on it's own. Data can be stored on different servers so not application server access the same database server. Data that is accessed often can be put on a more performant server or replicated to multiple servers...
how does social media platforms manage their load balancer considering geo time of user logging in n using their apps. which type of technique they use? locality based (geographic) or affinity
Thank you for the info! My fiance and I have issues with one another dropping out while playing video games. We have a good router that we are hardwired to and our pc setups are side by side. Would this be a solution to help with the dropping out? Is so what balancer would you recommend for this problem?
How does load balance work with 2 differen nat types one being Nat type 3 while the other one can be either Nat type 1 or 2? AT&T is carrier grade nat type 3.
Hi, thank you for the video. I have two questions. If load balancer single computer, so it really can process millions of requests at once, like on google, twitter websites? (Maybe there is more info?) And the second one, we have lots of application servers, but database is only one, how to handle this, database can handle millions requests at once?
I know I’m very late to this video but can you please explain how random is above round robin in this situation. They’re both similarly uninformed of the situation of the servers and just do their own thing, I would imagine they’d be equally unhelpful though if anything, at least round robin places it at a server only if it’s been the least recently troubled one, so there’s some minimal help there. I’m surprised random is considered between dumb and smart…
One of the clearest explanations I have ever watched, thanks so much!
Best video about load balancer! No unnecessary stuff. Nice speed. Well speed-up-able
Thank you guys so much for your work! This video came out just at the perfect time for me. Great explaination as always!
Perfect timing, then! 😎 👍 We're glad it was of use to you!
This is one of the cleanest explanation about load balancer!
Well articulated. You must be a great teacher 👌
Definitely the best video on load balancers compared to any other!
Thanks for the powerful, clearest explanation
Thanks for watching!
Yes please, it's so intriguing to learn how the smarter ones works.
If possible please make some indepth content for us enthusiasts.
You people rock✌️
Best explanation by far.
Thank you so much for the provided information, we actually need a load balancer solution for our network environment and it is good to have your advice.
Thank you for making your content easy to understand and follow for beginners. Your channel and blog is my go-to for concept definitions.

@@IBMTechnology None for now, but I'll be sure to drop a comment for it, when I find one.
Although, I know about the Load Balancer.
However, it was nice to hear a simple and concise explanation about it in this video. Thank you, sir!
I love how you explain things, thank you.
Thanks for watching!

Majestic teaching skills
I had doubts about Citrix ADC as LB, this video gave a clear understanding . Thank You ❤️
Excellent Explanation
Thank you so kindly for your short but very informative video. Much appreciated.
Awesome! Could you create a vid to discuss the differences between L4 and L7 load balancing?
Thank you for the suggestion, Niall! We'll see what we can do, stay tuned! 🙂
This is such a good suggestion!!
Wow 👌 such an awesome teacher 👏
Thanks a lot for simple and comprehensive explanation .
Awesome one. Both content and representation. ❤️
Thank you guys so much for your work! Great explaination nd video
❤❤❤❤ the best of the best ...thanks for ur explain
Excellent video and great explanation. The IBM team is stellar.
Guys thank you so much for your exact explanation
Thank you for dumbing it down! So easy to follow and understand. Can you discuss about security benefits as well?
It is a very good explanation of this topic !!
Great video! If you are reading this, have a great day!
Very well & clearly explained. Thank You...
Good explanation. Thanks!
It's amazing how knowledgeable and good explainer some of these IBM folks are!
Thanks for the interesting video
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Wonderful explanation!
Thanks, that was simple to understand.
thank you for the explanation. It's really awesome :)
We supposed that one server can not handle 10000 clients, but how one load balancer can? Video is good btw:)

thank you for this simple explication sir
Better explained than Google Cloud, lmao.
I love the way you explain thinks
Amazing! Very well explained.

Amazing video
can a load balancer become overloaded?
another great video!!
Thanks for explanation really simple to understand.
You're welcome, thanks for watching! 🙂
Load Balancers are more badass than I thought
Great video. So which service handles replicating the service amongst multiple servers?
Load balancing the millions of requests to the app servers are just great but what about the common database that the app servers are talking to ? Can't it be way overloaded with those million requests hitting that database or is it the autoscaling applies to db also
It's a whole topic on it's own. Data can be stored on different servers so not application server access the same database server. Data that is accessed often can be put on a more performant server or replicated to multiple servers...
Awesome, but Using DB clusters might not be that rare in case you actually need the use of a LB right?
really awesome leachure
how does social media platforms manage their load balancer considering geo time of user logging in n using their apps. which type of technique they use?
locality based (geographic) or affinity
Could you do something about how to do database loadbalancing too?
Thank you for the info! My fiance and I have issues with one another dropping out while playing video games. We have a good router that we are hardwired to and our pc setups are side by side. Would this be a solution to help with the dropping out? Is so what balancer would you recommend for this problem?
how to reach the application through load bvalancer? one public ip of load balancer will be provided?
how to get in touch with you to get the best algorithm?
what actually does a load balancer contain(hardware POV)?
is it a server itself or just a program to select the server according to the algorithm?
AWESOME. Thanks a lot
Thank you man
How does load balance work with 2 differen nat types one being Nat type 3 while the other one can be either Nat type 1 or 2? AT&T is carrier grade nat type 3.
Thanks mate!
Could you explain load balancing with SSL?
Hi, thank you for the video. I have two questions.
If load balancer single computer, so it really can process millions of requests at once, like on google, twitter websites? (Maybe there is more info?)
And the second one, we have lots of application servers, but database is only one, how to handle this, database can handle millions requests at once?
Could you provide some tutorials where session affinity/sticikess to be handles through GSLB/Load Balancer ?
Thanks for the suggestion, Satyajit! We'll see what we can do!
Brandley your amazing
Thank you mister
Thank you!!
so what's the difference between load balancer and a hypervisor (both in software and hardware part)?
So clear
What you use application of pen and invisible whiteboard?
Hey there! Maybe these behind the scenes would answer your question 👉 ibm.co/3BTyPxE 😉
How does this transparent board work ??
Search on "lightboard videos".
What about database load?
What's the benefits of IBM cloud vs Azure?
