testing-load-balancers

## Overview This skill empowers Claude to thoroughly test load balancing configurations, ensuring high availability and optimal performance. It automates the process of validating traffic distribution, simulating server failures, and verifying session persistence. ## How It Works 1. **Initiating the Test**: Claude receives a request to test the load balancer. 2. **Executing the Test Suite**: Claude uses the `load-balancer-tester` plugin to run a series of tests, including traffic distribution validation, failover testing, sticky session verification, and health check testing. 3. **Presenting the Results**: Claude provides a summary of the test results, highlighting any issues or areas for improvement. ## When to Use This Skill This skill activates when you need to: - Validate traffic distribution across backend servers. - Test the load balancer's ability to handle server failures. - Verify that sticky sessions are functioning correctly. - Ensure that health checks are effectively removing unhealthy servers from the pool. ## Examples ### Example 1: Validating Traffic Distribution User request: "Test load balancer traffic distribution for even distribution across servers." The skill will: 1. Execute the `lb-test` command. 2. Analyze the traffic distribution across the backend servers. 3. Report whether the traffic is evenly distributed. ### Example 2: Simulating a Failover Scenario User request: "Test failover when one of the backend servers becomes unavailable." Th...
