loved it ! been wanting to see load balancers in action for quite sometime and here you are !

[@cameronmcnz]

It really is easy to configure Apache load balancers. I was surprised how easy it was to spray requests to Tomcat servers. Way easier than what we used to do with WebSphere.

Thanks for the kind words, Mahir!

[@tomirodriguez]

thank you for sharing your knoladge 🙌! could you share an image that illustrate the servers infra? I mean, I understand that there are 3 servers, is that correct? In which server you made the configuration?

HI Thanks for the Load Balancer config info - Is there any where that tells what the Load Balancer UI columns actually mean?

Nice, I'm looking for apache tutorials

I've got lots of Apache content coming up, so stay tuned! Apache Load Balancers and reverse proxys are just a start.

Nice video!

it's better to use a2enmod from the terminal instead of touching the config file directly.
