Firewall-side load balancing? Seems a bit outdated.

Wait, isn't client-side load balancing more common?

I vaguely recall that distributed load balancing should happen as close to the service as possible, which makes me think it might be C.

I’m a bit confused; I thought client-side load balancing was more about optimizing user experience. Could it really be D?

I practiced a similar question where the focus was on network-side load balancing, so I’m leaning towards B for this one.

I think I remember something about load balancing being important at the service level, but I'm not entirely sure if it's C or D.

I think the key here is the "horizontally scalable" part of the question. That suggests the load balancing should be happening at a central, network-level rather than on the individual services or clients. I'm going to go with B.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. Can distributed load balancing really happen on the client-side or service-side? I'm leaning towards either A or B, but I want to double-check my understanding.

Okay, I've seen this type of question before. I believe the answer is B - network-side/central load balancing. That's the most common approach for horizontally scalable systems, right?

Hmm, I think I have a general idea of where distributed load balancing should occur, but I want to make sure I'm not missing any key details. I'll review my notes on scalable architectures.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I fully understand the differences between the options. I'll need to think this through carefully.

A? Really? Putting the firewall in charge of load balancing? That's like asking a bodyguard to also be the DJ.
