Question

The local agency publishes the latest information about the available public parking lots in a city. Instead
of deploying all data on a single server, they make several duplicate copies at different data centers.
The user is redirected to one of those available servers based on the location and load balance of the system.
Please advantages and disadvantages.

Answer 1

Advantages :

1. All the traffic is routed to different copies of servers instead of a single server which reduces the load on the server.

2. As the users request is sent to the nearest server based on the users location, the latency will be low which means the request and the response time will be low.

​​​​​​Disadvantage:

1. The only disadvantage I see here is that the cost of maintaining multiple servers at different locations is higher than a single server.
