About this course
This course develops practical capability in Load Balancing. Its course-specific content covers Balancing models, Health and persistence, Traffic security, Resilience testing, followed by an applied project focused on design and validate a highly available service endpoint. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Load Balancing or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of networking. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Design and validate a highly available service endpoint
Deliver design and validate a highly available service endpoint. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
Course content
Course-specific syllabus and practical exercises. Lab release, access arrangements and final delivery scope are confirmed before enrolment.
01Balancing models
+
- Layer-four and layer-seven responsibilities
- Algorithms and connection distribution
Practical exerciseApply balancing models to the design and validate a highly available service endpoint and capture the validation evidence.
02Health and persistence
+
- Active-passive checks and failure thresholds
- Session affinity and connection draining
Practical exerciseApply health and persistence to the design and validate a highly available service endpoint and capture the validation evidence.
03Traffic security
+
- TLS termination and backend encryption
- Headers, client identity and exposure boundaries
Practical exerciseApply traffic security to the design and validate a highly available service endpoint and capture the validation evidence.
04Resilience testing
+
- Exercise backend failure and recovery
- Measure distribution, errors and timeout behaviour
Practical exerciseApply resilience testing to the design and validate a highly available service endpoint and capture the validation evidence.
05Applied project: Design and validate a highly available service endpoint
+
- Define inputs, assumptions and acceptance criteria for: Design and validate a highly available service endpoint.
- Implement the project using balancing models, health and persistence, traffic security, resilience testing.
Practical exerciseDesign and validate a highly available service endpoint.
06Load Balancing — validation and review
+
- Demonstrate the completed project against its acceptance criteria.
- Exercise an invalid-input or failure scenario and document the observed result.
Practical exercisepresent the project evidence, limitations and a repeatable handover.
