Cloud Architecture and Design

Question

When designing a three-node, load-balanced application, a systems administrator must ensure each node runs on a different physical server for HA purposes. Which of the following does the systems administrator need to configure?

Options

  • ARound-robin methods
  • BLive migration
  • CAnti-affinity rule
  • DPriority queues

Explanation

Anti-affinity rules enforce VM placement policies that keep specified VMs on separate physical hosts, ensuring high availability by preventing co-location on the same hardware.

Common mistakes.

  • A. Round-robin is a load balancing algorithm that distributes incoming requests across nodes, not a mechanism for controlling physical server placement of VMs.
  • B. Live migration moves a running VM from one host to another on demand but does not enforce an ongoing policy that keeps VMs separated across different physical servers.
  • D. Priority queues are used in network traffic management or process scheduling to prioritize certain traffic or tasks, not to control VM-to-host placement.
