The rise in the amount of TLS/SSL traffic places an increasing burden on load balancers. You need a highly scalable load balancing solution that can scale up or scale down to:
- Address seasonal changes (e.g. Black Friday) in application traffic
- Handle DDoS attacks by elastically autoscaling until the attack is mitigated
- Scale seamlessly beyond the data center by automatically bursting to the cloud
- Eliminate overprovisioning caused by expensive, purpose-built hardware load balancers
