Isn't it surprising that some servers are getting way more traffic?

I remember discussing how Least Connections (Node) could help with uneven traffic, but I'm not confident if that's the best option for FTP and HTTP applications together.

I feel like Ratio methods are more about distributing traffic based on predefined weights, but I can't recall if that's what we need for this scenario.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between Least Connections and Ratio methods, and I think Least Connections (Member) might be the right choice here.

I think I remember that the Least Connections method is often used to balance traffic more evenly, but I'm not sure if it's for members or nodes in this case.

This seems straightforward to me. The question is asking for a way to run containerized apps without installing them on the session hosts. That means we need a solution that can package and deliver the apps in a containerized format, like MSIX app packages. I'm confident that's the right answer here.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to make sure I follow the steps in the right order to successfully roll back the file. I better review the options a few times.

Remote desktop could work, but that assumes the server is still accessible over the network. If the network is down, that might not be an option.

Option D with Deployment Manager and Ansible could work well too. That way, I can leverage the power of both tools to set up the instance group and handle the package dependencies. I'll have to research the best way to integrate them.

Load balancing, huh? I'm just hoping the BIG-IP admin doesn't go for the 'Big Ingest Heavily' method. That might be a bit too much for the servers to handle.
