ACP-Cloud1 Exam Dumps : ACP Cloud Computing Certification

According to the Alibaba Cloud Academy, a VPC is an isolated network environment that is completely isolated from each other. Each VPC has an independent tunnel ID, and a tunnel ID corresponds to a virtualized network. This means that different VPCs cannot communicate with each other through the tunnel ID. Subnets are not divided like the traditional network environment, but rather are logical divisions of the VPC. Different cloud servers within each subnet are connected by the same router, but different subnets are interconnected by route tables, not switches. ECS instances in a VPC use security group firewalls for Layer 4 network access control, not Layer 2. The internal networks of different VPCs are completely isolated and can be interconnected through IP addresses mapped to the outside, such as NAT Gateway or EIP. References: ACP Cloud Computing Certification Preparation Course - Internetworking with VPC, Alibaba Cloud VPC User Guide

When forwarding layer 7 (HTTP) requests, Alibaba Cloud SLB preserves the client’s real IP address by including it in the X-Forwarded-For header. This allows the backend ECS instance to access the client’s actual IP rather than the SLB’s IP address. This practice is common for maintaining accurate client IP information in HTTP forwarding scenarios.

Alibaba Cloud SLB can distribute user requests to backend ECS instances, but these ECS instances do not have to have the same specification (CPU, Memory). SLB virtualizes the added group of ECS instances in the same region into an application pool, and you can manage backend servers through either the default server group, a primary server group, or VServer groups. You can add ECS instances of different specifications to the same server group or VServer group according to your needs. SLB supports weighted round-robin (WRR) and weighted least connections (WLC) algorithms to balance the load among backend servers with different weights. References:
