Hi Community, 

Any idea is AEM using ingress-nginx for dispatcher & publisher servers.

Hi @PriyankaPo2 ,

Load balancers manage traffic in AEM as a Cloud Service ecosystem, preventing overload and ensuring smooth performance. They evenly distribute requests across author, publish, and dispatcher instances, enhancing system reliability and availability.

Key functions:

• Distribute traffic across publish instances

• Redirect requests if an instance fails

• Enable maintenance without service disruption

By efficiently managing request distribution, load balancers play a vital role in enhancing the scalability and dependability of the Adobe Experience Manager infrastructure.

Hi @PriyankaPo2 ,

By default AEM uses Apache HTTP and HTTPD servers for dispatcher and publisher. But we can configure NGINX as a load balancer for two AEM dispatchers.

Please check the details of configuration on below link:
