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.
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.
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?
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 ?.
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
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.
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
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
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...
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 😊
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)
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?
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?
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.
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…
Hi Bill! IBM Cloud offers several load balancing solutions, you can check them out here 👉 ibm.co/3n3Rz7l Additionally, a variety of open source load balancers are available, each with different functionality and server compatibility: Neutrino, Gobetween, LoadMaster by Kemp, and the Linux-based Seesaw. LoadMaster and Neutrino offer free versions and fee-based commercial versions with added functionality. If you’re considering open source, be sure to review functionality and compatibility with your specific server first. 🙂
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
This is one of the cleanest explanation about load balancer!
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!
Well articulated. You must be a great teacher 👌
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.
Definitely the best video on load balancers compared to any other!
how did you guys get the transparent glass board to show no light reflections or glare?
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!
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.
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.
Thanks for the powerful, clearest explanation
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making your content easy to understand and follow for beginners. Your channel and blog is my go-to for concept definitions.
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?
@@IBMTechnology None for now, but I'll be sure to drop a comment for it, when I find one.
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!!
I had doubts about Citrix ADC as LB, this video gave a clear understanding . Thank You ❤️
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 ?.
I love how you explain things, thank you.
Thanks for watching!

Majestic teaching skills
Wow 👌 such an awesome teacher 👏
Thank you so kindly for your short but very informative video. Much appreciated.
Great video! If you are reading this, have a great day!
Excellent Explanation
Thank you for dumbing it down! So easy to follow and understand. Can you discuss about security benefits as well?
Awesome one. Both content and representation. ❤️
Excellent video and great explanation. The IBM team is stellar.
It's amazing how knowledgeable and good explainer some of these IBM folks are!

Guys thank you so much for your exact explanation
It is a very good explanation of this topic !!
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, but Using DB clusters might not be that rare in case you actually need the use of a LB right?
We supposed that one server can not handle 10000 clients, but how one load balancer can? Video is good btw:)

@@bradleyknapp2909 wow, i didn't think that way thanks !
This was so good! Thanks!
how to reach the application through load bvalancer? one public ip of load balancer will be provided?
Great video and content. By the way, how to reach you for advice for designing one?
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 😊

This a very great video, thank you so much!
Thanks, that was simple to understand.
so what's the difference between load balancer and a hypervisor (both in software and hardware part)?
Clear explanation
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?
Very well & clearly explained. Thank You...
Amazing video
Great explaination! Thanks
such wonderful content, thank you for your effort
What you use application of pen and invisible whiteboard?
Hey there! Maybe these behind the scenes would answer your question 👉 ibm.co/3BTyPxE 😉
Amazing! Very well explained.
Thank you very much. Great explanation.
What's the benefits of IBM cloud vs Azure?
thank you so much for the information!!
Thank you, very useful
I love the way you explain thinks
nice, thank you, very helpful
Great video, great explanation
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!
Well presented, thanks
Could you explain load balancing with SSL?
can a load balancer become overloaded?
thank you for this simple explication sir
Thank you mister

Great video. So which service handles replicating the service amongst multiple servers?
Thank you
Thanks mate!
Good for beginners.
Thank you man
Load Balancers are more badass than I thought
Thank you clear explanation
Could you do something about how to do database loadbalancing too?
Thanks for this information
Thanks for explanation really simple to understand.
You're welcome, thanks for watching! 🙂
What about database load?
Better explained than Google Cloud, lmao.
AWESOME. Thanks a lot
Thank you!!
really awesome leachure
