Load Balancing is Impossible

Summary
Tyler McMullen discusses load balancing techniques and algorithms such as Randomized Least-conns, Join-Idle-Queue, and Load Interpretation. Load balancing perfectly may be impossible in the real world, but we can do better than “random,” “round-robin,” and naive “least-conns”.

Any chance the audio could be cleaned up to remove the cross-talk? It's distracting from an otherwise interesting talk.

Hi Alan,
We've tried various solutions but unfortunately we can’t edit it out because the audio interference was coming thorough on the same channel as the presenters mic while recorded. We apologize for this inconvenience.
