Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for optimizing a load balancer configuration are disclosed. A load balancer is configured to perform traffic management for a distributed system. A new component is deployed to the distributed system or a performance deviation is predicted in the distributed system. In response to the initiation of the deployment or the prediction of the performance deviation, the configuration of the load balancer is modified from a first state to a second state. Modifying the configuration of the load balancer modifies the traffic management for the distributed system. If the configuration was changed due to a deployment, the configuration of the load balancer is restored from the second state to the first state after a period of time has elapsed.

Dynamically adjusting load balancing
Jayant Jain,Anirban Sengupta,Mohan Parthasarathy,Allwyn Sequeira,Serge Maskalik,Rick Lund +5 more
- 01 Dec 2014
TL;DR: In this paper, a load balancer is deployed in the source node's egress datapath to determine whether the data message is addressed to one of the DCN groups for which the loadbalancer spreads the data traffic to balance the load across (e.g., data traffic directed to) the DCNs in the group.
