You manage a media platform that experiences periodic spikes in user engagement. After adding additional servers to address these surges, which method helps ensure no single resource is overrun when usage suddenly increases?
Tweak domain record durations so connections point to one server
Consolidate operations onto a single high-capacity system
Increase available memory on one machine and reuse other hardware for tests
Activate more servers in parallel and coordinate tasks between them
Using multiple servers in parallel spreads the incoming load so no single system becomes overloaded. Simply adding memory or switching to a larger box can create a single point of failure, and adjusting domain settings to direct requests to one system fails to distribute the risk and load evenly.
