1. 1

   Which component in a cloud architecture is primarily responsible for distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server becomes overwhelmed?

2. 2

3. 3

   When designing for high availability, why is it recommended to deploy your load-balanced instances across multiple Availability Zones (AZs)?

4. 4

   You are experiencing 'flapping' in your auto-scaling group, where instances are launching and terminating frequently due to minor spikes in CPU usage. What is the best way to address this?

5. 5

   A web application uses a combination of an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and an Auto Scaling Group. You notice that traffic is not being distributed evenly, with one instance receiving significantly more requests than others despite using a 'Round Robin' algorithm. What is the most likely cause?
