Health Checks
Health checks in load balancing are used to monitor the status of servers and determine whether or not they are able to handle traffic.
If a server is unhealthy, it will be removed from the pool of available servers. This helps to ensure that only healthy servers are used to handle traffic, which can help to improve performance and reliability.
