The main difference in this topology is that the load balancer (proxy) is external to the application nodes.
Unlike the use case for the proxy, where the constraint was one where we needed to bind all services to a given port, the load balancer can have 2 distinct topologies.
As in the former use case, all services will be bound to a single port (443)
,
and balanced among nodes listening
on
to the native ports
The load balancer will listen
on
to the native ports, and load balance to the various nodes
In the diagram below, we are depicting the second topology, where each front end is bound to the native port and
forwarding
forwarded to the load-balanced backend.
