Which tool does this skill use?

This skill utilizes the load-balancer-tester plugin and standard CLI tools like Bash and Grep to execute and analyze infrastructure tests.

Can I simulate a server failure with this skill?

Yes, the skill includes specific capabilities to simulate backend server outages and verify that the load balancer correctly redirects traffic to healthy nodes.

What does the Load Balancer Tester skill do?

It automates the process of testing load balancer configurations, specifically focusing on traffic distribution, failover, sticky sessions, and health checks.

Is this skill compatible with cloud load balancers?

Yes, as long as the load balancer endpoint is accessible to the environment where the plugin is running, it can validate configurations for AWS ELB, NGINX, HAProxy, and others.

How does it verify sticky sessions?

The skill analyzes headers and routing patterns to ensure that subsequent requests from the same simulated client are consistently routed to the same backend server.
