Interesting. The author starts by discussing DNS round robin but then briefly touches on Cloudflare Load Balancing.
I use this feature, and there are options to control Affinity, Geolocation and others. I don't see this discussed in the article, so I'm not sure why Cloudflare load balancing is mentioned if the author does not test the whole thing.
Their Cloudflare wishlist includes "Offline servers should be detected."
This is also interesting because when creating a Cloudflare load balancing configuration, you create monitors, and if one is down, Cloudflare will automatically switch to other origin servers.
These screenshots show what I see on my Load Balancing configuration options:

- hyperknot 2y agoI briefly mention that I don't go into L7 Load Balancing because it'd be cost prohibitive for my use case (millions of requests). Also, the article is about DNS-RR, not the L7 solution.
