Can this be used for both local and cloud load balancers?

As long as the load-balancer-tester plugin can reach the target endpoints, this skill can validate configurations across local, hybrid, or cloud-based infrastructure.

Does this skill provide a summary of test results?

Yes, after executing the test suite, Claude provides a comprehensive summary highlighting traffic distribution metrics, failover success rates, and any detected issues.

Can I test sticky sessions with this skill?

Yes, the skill includes specific functionality to verify that session persistence and affinity are working correctly across your load balancer backends.

How does the skill simulate a server failure?

The skill utilizes the lb-test command to simulate backend unavailability, allowing Claude to monitor and report how the load balancer redirects traffic to remaining healthy nodes.

What plugin is required for this skill to function?

This skill is specifically designed to work with the load-balancer-tester plugin integrated within the Claude Code environment.

セキュリティとテスト

Validates load balancing configurations by testing traffic distribution, failover scenarios, and session persistence.

概要

This skill empowers Claude to automate the validation of load balancer performance and reliability by leveraging the load-balancer-tester plugin. It allows developers to simulate server failures, verify that traffic is distributed correctly across backends, ensure sticky sessions function as expected, and confirm that health checks effectively manage unhealthy instances, making it an essential tool for maintaining high-availability infrastructure within a Claude Code environment.
