Datacenter Load Balancing Strategies
This chapter explores algorithms and application-level routing methods used to distribute incoming requests across backend servers within a Google datacenter. It covers health monitoring techniques like flow control and 'lame duck' states, connection management including pooling and subsetting, and subset selection methods such as random and deterministic approaches. The analysis also includes load-balancing policies like Simple Round Robin and Least-Loaded Round Robin.
