Lesson 10 / 25

Load balancers and CDNs

Use Load balancers and CDNs to make a clear, evidence-based decision.

Understand Load balancers and CDNs

Start by naming the decision behind Load balancers and CDNs. A strong answer explains the goal, the constraints, and the evidence you would use before acting. Do not treat a checklist as understanding: connect each step to the outcome it protects.

Practise with evidence

Create one small example for Load balancers and CDNs. Write down your assumption, the action you take, and the observable result. If you cannot explain why the result matters, reduce the example and try again.

A useful comparison

Think of Load balancers and CDNs like planning a journey: a destination without a route is only a wish, while a route without a destination wastes effort.

Check the decision, not just the terminology.

Quick check: What is the most useful way to apply Load balancers and CDNs?

  • State the goal, constraints and evidence before choosing an action.
  • Copy a template without checking whether it fits.
  • Use the most complex option first.
Answer

State the goal, constraints and evidence before choosing an action. — Good practice makes the reasoning visible, so you can review and improve it.
