Adding Backend Servers

Scenario

When you use ELB to route traffic to backend servers, you need to ensure that at least one backend server is running normally and can receive requests from the associated load balancer.

If the incoming traffic increases, you can add more backend servers to ensure the stability and reliability of applications and eliminate SPOFs. If the incoming traffic decreases, you can remove some backend servers to reduce costs.

Constraints and Limitations

  • The cloud servers must be in the same VPC as the backend server group.
