Adding Backend Servers¶
Scenario¶
You can add backend servers to a backend server group to process requests from clients.
When you use ELB to route requests, ensure that at least one backend server is running normally and can receive requests routed by the load balancer.
If a backend server is removed, it is disassociated from the load balancer and can still run normally. However, it cannot receive requests from the load balancer. You can add the backend server to the backend server group again when traffic increases or the reliability needs to be enhanced.
Constraints and Limitations¶
Only servers in the same VPC as the load balancer can be added.
