L4 vs L7 load balancing

unwritten—Outline
Note to self
Not written yet. This is the outline I am working from — it will be filled in as I go through the topic.
  • L4: connection routing, no payload inspection
  • L7: path and header routing, TLS termination, retries
  • Health checks, draining and sticky sessions
  • Where the client-side balancing option fits
