Olivia is setting up a load-balanced web application cluster. Her company already has a dispensable pair of load balancers, but each unit is not capable of handling the maximum designed throughput of the cluster separately. Olivia has suggested that the load balancers be set up in an active/active configuration. What issue should she raise while making this recommendation?

Olivia should inform her company that if one of the active nodes fails, it could lead to reduced maximum throughput and the possibility of service degradation. However, since services are seldom run at full capacity, and maintenance windows can be scheduled for many of them, this does not imply that the load balancers cannot be patched. There is nothing about this configuration that makes the load balancers more susceptible to denial of service attacks than they would be in any other configuration.
