Redundancy and failover strategies for load balancers

To ensure high availability and fault tolerance, load balancers should be designed and deployed with redundancy in mind. This means having multiple instances of load balancers that can take over if one fails. Redundancy can be achieved through several failover strategies:

• Active-passive configuration: In this setup, one load balancer (the active instance) handles all incoming traffic while the other (the passive instance) remains on standby
