Sticky Load Balancing with AWS
- by John Wheal
I have just setup a load balancer with AWS for a few instances as search engine crawlers were bringing down the site (it has millions of pages). Parts of the site allow you to login so I selected:
Enable Application Generated Cookie Stickiness
and everything works fine.
I now wonder how this will effect my SEO and the crawlers. As I selected sticky load balancing does this mean that a crawler will be stuck on one server and therefore defeat the point in the load balancer?
Any recommendations will be appreciated.
