Can I simulate a server failure with this skill?

Yes, the skill includes specific routines to simulate backend server unavailability and report on how successfully the load balancer redirects traffic to healthy nodes.

What types of load balancer tests can Claude perform?

Claude can test traffic distribution, simulate server failovers, verify sticky session persistence, and audit the effectiveness of backend health checks.

Does this skill require a specific plugin?

Yes, this skill is specifically designed to work with the load-balancer-tester plugin within the Claude Code environment.

Is this suitable for production environments?

While it can be used on production, it is best practice to run these tests in a staging or development environment first to ensure that simulated failures do not impact live users.
