Abstract
A load balancer determines a first usage load for a first server group that is one of a plurality of server groups associated with a resource. The load balancer determines a usage total for a user group of a plurality of user groups assigned to make requests for the resource via the first server group. The load balancer determines an assignment of the user group to make requests for the resource via the first server group or a second server group of the plurality of server groups based on the usage total of the user group, the first usage load of the first server group, and a second usage load of the second server group. The load balancer routes requests for the resource by the user group to the first server group or the second server group based on the assignment.
