Abstract: The research article provides guidelines and a case study to effectively provide resiliency and high availability for a mission critical service which is load balanced in multiple data centers. Most critical services rely on the built-in availability feature but by taking advantage of a hardware or software Load balancer, organizations can disperse the load and provide uninterrupted service while affording downtime for backend applications. By way of these load balancers, requests are automatically made to the least used servers behind them. The same load balancers also function as health checks for the end points on the backend systems while providing continuous and consistent validation of service availability. In the event of any service failure on the backend system, the particular service is not used until it reports healthy. Keywords: Load Balancer, Tier 1 Service Availability, Resiliency, Client Connectivity. Title: The Case of Load Balancing a Tier 1 Service Author: Qasim T. Zaidi, Ahmed S.
