For setting up an external TCP load balancer with SSL offload, which load balancer should be used?

  1. SSL proxy

  2. HTTP load balancer

  3. TCP proxy

  4. HTTPS load balancer

The correct answer is: SSL proxy

An external TCP load balancer with SSL offload requires a load balancer that can handle both TCP and SSL traffic. This narrows down the options to SSL proxy or TCP proxy. An HTTP load balancer would only handle HTTP traffic, so it is not a suitable option. While an HTTPS load balancer can handle SSL traffic, it is designed for HTTP traffic and may not have the necessary features for TCP traffic. Therefore, an SSL proxy is the most appropriate choice as it is specifically designed to handle both TCP and SSL traffic.
