Has your organization implemented load balancing solutions to enhance system capacity and reliability?
Explanation
Load balancing distributes workloads across multiple computing resources to prevent any single resource from becoming overwhelmed, which improves both system performance and availability. By implementing load balancing, organizations can maintain service continuity during traffic spikes, hardware failures, or maintenance activities, reducing the risk of service disruptions that could impact security or business operations. Evidence of fulfillment could include network architecture diagrams showing load balancer configurations, load balancer configuration files, vendor documentation for implemented load balancing solutions, or monitoring dashboards that display traffic distribution across resources.
