In a single NGINX deployment, the http and stream contexts defines an upstream context that specifies the IP address of the ECS nodes with specified ports of ECS protocol (such as 10.246.50.129:9020) and load balancing algorithm. Figure 2 illustrates an example of a single deployment. This is the simplest of configurations; however, the single load balancer is also a single point of failure and not recommended in production environments.
