US Patent 11757982 Performing load balancing self adjustment within an application environment

A technique performs load balancing self-adjustment within an application environment. The technique involves, while nodes of the application environment load balance traffic among clusters that provide services for an application in accordance with a first load balancing configuration, sensing application environment metrics. The technique further involves performing a self-adjustment operation that generates a second load balancing configuration based on the application environment metrics, the second load balancing configuration being different from the first load balancing configuration. The technique further involves deploying the second load balancing configuration among the nodes to enable the nodes to load balance the traffic among the clusters that provide the services for the application in accordance with second load balancing configuration in place of the first load balancing configuration.
