The load balancer is required for high availability deployments and optional for basic deployment.
About this task
The load balancer is used to distribute and forward requests to the various application/web servers.
Procedure

There are no specific configuration requirements for the load balancer.

Hardware or software load balancers can be used.

AcceleratorKMS offers a /Health request path for load balancing health checks. Requests to https://<AcceleratorKMS_URL>/Health receive a simple 200/OK when the server is responding. For an alternate status page that connects to the database, see Heartbeat testing in the Validation section.

Ensure the load balancer is configured for each application/web server in your deployment.
