Actual exam question for LPI's 304-200 exam

Question #: 81
Topic #: 9

Which actions should be taken in a load balanced cluster in order to protect the load balancer against outages?

ALoad balancers cannot be protected against outages which is why they should always be built on dedicated hardware.

BNo actions are necessary as a load balancer cannot become a single point of failure.

CTwo or more load balancers should be deployed as a cascade that passes packets from one to the other.

DTwo load balancers should be deployed as a failover cluster.

ELoad balancers are used for performance and scalability reasons only and cannot be used to archive high availability clusters.

I see your point, Kathrine. But having a failover cluster can also provide a reliable backup in case of failure.

That's a good point, Marvel. Having redundancy in place is crucial for maintaining availability.

I believe deploying two load balancers as a failover cluster would be a good approach to protect against outages.

I think in a load balanced cluster, we need to take actions to protect the load balancer against outages.

That's true, both options C and D aim at achieving high availability by having redundancy in the load balancers.

But wouldn't option D be a simpler solution with just two load balancers in a failover cluster?

I agree, having multiple load balancers in a cascade can distribute the load and prevent a single point of failure.
