Microservices - Service Mesh
Why is it important that traffic splitting weights sum to 100% in microservices routing configurations?
ATo reduce network latency
BTo ensure all incoming requests are accounted for and routed properly
CTo encrypt traffic between services
DTo increase CPU usage on servers
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand traffic splitting weights

    Weights represent the fraction of total traffic each service receives.

  2. Step 2: Importance of summing to 100%

    If weights don't sum to 100%, some requests may be lost or misrouted.

  3. Final Answer:

    To ensure all incoming requests are accounted for and routed properly -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Weights sum 100% = all requests routed [OK]
Quick Trick: Weights must total 100% to route all traffic [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking weights affect latency
  • Confusing weights with encryption
  • Assuming weights increase CPU usage
