What does the Load Balancer Tester skill do?

It automates the process of testing load balancing strategies, including traffic distribution, failover scenarios, and session persistence, ensuring your infrastructure is reliable.

What plugin does this skill require?

This skill uses the load-balancer-tester plugin to execute commands and analyze the results of the load balancing test suite.

Can it simulate real server failures?

Yes, the skill can simulate backend server unavailability to verify that the load balancer correctly redirects traffic to healthy nodes without service interruption.

Does this skill support sticky session verification?

Yes, it specifically includes tests to ensure that session persistence (sticky sessions) is functioning correctly across your server pool.

Is it suitable for production environment testing?

While it can be used in production, it is recommended to run these tests in a staging environment first to validate configurations against realistic traffic patterns and failure scenarios.
