Does load balancing pose extra security risks?
If I'd have a basic Laravel back-end application I'd configure my load balancing using Nginx. I would have one server with the sole purpose of load balancing. The other servers would contain my Laravel-code and the configuration for SSL etc.
But doesn't this architecture pose extra security concerns? Having multiple servers with the same code has the risk of having a server with a wrong security configuration or a unpatched bug in the code.
