 According to the Alibaba Cloud SLB documentation1, SLB provides a health check feature that monitors the availability and performance of the backend servers. If a backend server fails the health check, SLB stops routing requests to it and redirects the traffic to other healthy servers. This way, SLB can improve the system’s availability by eliminating single points of failure (SPOFs). Therefore, option A is a correct statement about SLB.

According to the same documentation1, SLB instances are assigned with public IP addresses or private IP addresses based on the network type. If you delete an SLB instance and create a new one, a new IP address will be allocated to the new instance. You cannot specify or reserve an IP address for an SLB instance. Therefore, option B is also a correct statement about SLB.

Option C is incorrect, because SLB does not require you to install or configure any SLB agent on the backend servers. You only need to add the backend servers to the SLB instance and configure the listener and the server group. SLB will automatically distribute the traffic to the backend servers based on the load balancing algorithm and the health check status2.

Option D is also incorrect, because SLB does not provide a function to automatically synchronize data among backend servers. SLB only handles the network traffic distribution and does not interfere with the data on the backend servers. You need to use other methods or tools to synchronize data among backend servers, such as rsync, lsyncd, or Alibaba Cloud Data Transmission Service (DTS)3.

When using Alibaba Cloud SLB to forward layer 7 (HTTP) service requests, SLB will replace the IP address in the HTTP header file to forward requests. Therefore, the source IP address that can be seen on the backend ECS instance is the IP address of SLB instead of the client’s real IP address. However, SLB also provides a feature called X-Forwarded-For (XFF) that can help you obtain the real IP address of the client. XFF is a standard HTTP header field that records the original IP address of the client and the proxy servers that the request passes through. You can enable XFF on the SLB console or by using the API, and then configure your backend ECS instance to parse the XFF header field and get the real IP address of the client. References: 1 - SLB overview - Alibaba Cloud Document Center - Layer 7 listeners - X-Forwarded-For

RDS provides whitelist access policies. You can set permitted IP addresses and IP network segments to effectively prevent hackers from attacking the server by port scanning1. A whitelist is a list of IP addresses or CIDR blocks that are allowed to access an RDS instance. By default, the whitelist is empty, which means that no IP address can access the RDS instance. You can add IP addresses or CIDR blocks to the whitelist to allow access from specific sources. You can also modify or delete the whitelist as needed2. Whitelist access policies help improve the security of your RDS instance and protect your data from unauthorized access3.
