medium📝 Debug Q14 of 15
AWS - Elastic Load Balancing
You set up a load balancer but all traffic goes to a single server. What is the likely mistake?
ASecurity group blocks all traffic
BListener is set to forward on wrong port
CLoad balancer is not created
DTarget group has only one instance registered
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check target group configuration

    If only one instance is registered in the target group, all traffic goes to that instance.
  2. Step 2: Verify listener and load balancer existence

    Listener forwarding on wrong port or missing load balancer would cause no traffic or errors, not single server traffic.
  3. Final Answer:

    Target group has only one instance registered -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Single server traffic = one target instance [OK]
Quick Trick: Check target group instance count first [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming listener port causes single server traffic
  • Thinking load balancer absence sends traffic
  • Blaming security group for traffic routing
