Pool

A Pool (also known as a Server Group) is a critical component in a Load Balancing system. It is responsible for distributing traffic to backend servers, improving the performance, availability, and reliability of your services.

The Main Purpose of a Pool

The primary goal of a Pool is load balancing. It ensures that incoming traffic is evenly and efficiently distributed across backend servers. This prevents any single server from becoming overloaded while others remain idle.

Pool Components

A Pool consists of backend servers, referred to as "Pool Members." These Pool Members serve requests and respond to users or devices through the Load Balancer.
