How is incoming traffic distribution managed using a load balancer in cloud infrastructure?

A load balancer distributes incoming traffic among multiple servers or services to improve fault tolerance and performance. In cloud infrastructure, this is typically implemented as follows:

• The load balancer accepts incoming requests on a single IP or DNS.
• Uses load distribution algorithms (round robin, least connections, IP hash, etc.) to select the target server.
• Checks the health of servers and excludes unavailable ones.
• Redirects requests to the chosen server.

For example, if you have 3 application servers, the load balancer will evenly distribute requests among them so that no single server is overloaded.
