When using Alibaba Cloud SLB, you can set different weights for backend ECS instances.

Alibaba Cloud Server Load Balancer (SLB) is a service that distributes network traffic across multiple ECS instances to improve the service capabilities of applications. SLB supports different load balancing algorithms, such as round robin, weighted round robin, and least connections. When using the weighted round robin algorithm, SLB assigns different weights to backend ECS instances based on their processing capabilities. The higher the weight of a backend ECS instance, the more requests it will receive from SLB. However, the weight of a backend ECS instance is not the only factor that determines the load distribution. The number and the weight of other backend ECS instances in the same server group also affect the load balancing result. Therefore, without knowing the weight settings of the remaining 4 ECS instances, we cannot tell what would happen to the load distribution among the 5 ECS instances. The other statements are incorrect because they assume a fixed or proportional load distribution based on the weight of ecs_inst1, which is not necessarily true.
