Oracle Exam 1Z0-1072-20 Topic 4 Question 10 Discussion

A load balancer improves resource utilization, facilitates scaling, and helps ensure high

availability. You can configure multiple load balancing policies and application-specific health

checks to ensure that the load balancer directs traffic only to healthy instances. The load

balancer can reduce your maintenance window by draining traffic from an unhealthy

application server before you remove it from service for maintenance.

The Load Balancing service considers a server marked drain available for existing persisted

sessions. New requests that are not part of an existing persisted session are not sent to that

server.

Edit Drain State: Opens a dialog box in which you can change the drain state.

If you set the server's drain status to true, the load balancer stops forwarding

new TCP connections and new non-sticky HTTP requests to this backend server.

This setting allows an administrator to take the server out of rotation for

maintenance purposes.

e. Edit Offline State: Opens a dialog box in which you can change the offline

status.

If you set the server's offline status to true, the load balance forwards no ingress

traffic to this backend server.
