B) Only the SLB can forward HTTP traffic to the VPC-internal ports of the CloudHub workers
C) Both a DLB and the SLB allow the configuration of access control via IP whitelists
D) Both a DLB and the SLB implement load balancing by sending HTTP requests to workers with the lowest workloads

What comparison is true about a CloudHub Dedicated Load Balancer (DLB) vs. the CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB)?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

* Shared load balancers don't allow you to configure custom SSL certificates or proxy rules

* Dedicated Load Balancer are optional but you need to purchase them additionally if needed.

* TLS is a cryptographic protocol that provides communications security for your Mule app. TLS offers many different ways of exchanging keys for authentication, encrypting data, and guaranteeing message integrity.

* The CloudHub Shared Load Balancer terminates TLS connections and uses its own server-side certificate.

* Only a DLB allows the configuration of a custom TLS server certificate

* DLB enables you to define SSL configurations to provide custom certificates and optionally enforce two-way SSL client authentication.

* To use a DLB in your environment, you must first create an Anypoint VPC. Because you can associate multiple environments with the same Anypoint VPC, you can use the same dedicated load balancer for your different environments.

* MuleSoft Reference: https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-manager/dedicated-load-balancer-tutorial

Wait, really? I didn't know DLB was that much better!

Both can use IP whitelists, that's a plus for both!

A DLB is the only one that supports custom TLS certs.

I vaguely remember something about how both types of load balancers handle requests, but I can't remember if they both send to the lowest workload workers.

I’m pretty confident that both DLB and SLB can use IP whitelists for access control, but I might be mixing it up with another topic.

I feel like there was a practice question about SLB forwarding HTTP traffic, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think I remember that only the DLB allows for custom TLS certificates, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only difference.

Ah, I see now. Both the Dedicated Load Balancer and the Shared Load Balancer allow you to configure access control via IP whitelists. That's a feature they have in common.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The Shared Load Balancer is the only one that can forward HTTP traffic to the VPC-internal ports of the CloudHub workers. The Dedicated Load Balancer doesn't have that functionality.

I'm a bit confused on the differences between these two load balancers. I'll need to re-read the question and options carefully to make sure I understand what's being asked.

Okay, I've got this. The key difference is that only the Dedicated Load Balancer allows you to configure a custom TLS server certificate. The Shared Load Balancer doesn't have that capability.

Hmm, this question seems to be testing my knowledge of the differences between the CloudHub Dedicated Load Balancer and the Shared Load Balancer. I'll need to carefully review the options and think through what I know about each one.

Lowest workload load balancing? Yep, that's the efficient way to do it. No need to overthink this one.

Access control via IP whitelists? That's a must-have for any enterprise-grade load balancer. Both options sound solid on that front.

I'm not sure about that HTTP traffic forwarding to VPC-internal ports thing. Seems a bit niche, but good to know the SLB can handle that.

A dedicated load balancer definitely sounds like the way to go. That custom TLS server certificate is a game-changer.
