-# Load balancing
-Some pointers on win-acme and load balancing.
-
-## Sharing certificates between servers
-It really depends if you're using a separate appliance to offload HTTPS or if it's
-handled by the servers in the pool themselves. In the latter case you should probably
-use the [Central Certificate Store](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/kaushal/2012/10/11/central-certificate-store-ccs-with-iis-8-windows-server-2012/)
-feature of IIS. Instructions on how to configure win-acme to use it can be found
-[here](/win-acme/reference/plugins/store/centralssl).
-
-## Scheduled task
-- You can have a single server act as a renewal server running win-acme. That means it's a single
- point of failure, but only a minor one, because certificates only need to be renewed once every
- three months.
-- To distribute the task of renewing, you should point the `ConfigurationPath` in the `settings.json`
- of win-acme to somewhere on your SAN, so that any member of the pool can potentially renew the
- certificates.
-- You can configure the Scheduled Task on different machines at different times, e.g. one at 4:00 am,
- the next at 5:00 am, etc. Then you can be sure that they will not run at the same time and the first
- one that succeeds handles everything.
-- If you're building an actual cluster, you can use a Clustered Task instead of a regular Scheduled Task.
-
-## Encryption
-The encryption for the config files will have to be disabled via `settings.json` so that all machines
-in the cluster can read the passwords.
-
-## Appliance
-If you are using an appliance then you have to use their API and call into that from a `.bat`/`.ps1`/`.exe`
-using an [installation script](/win-acme/reference/plugins/installation). \ No newline at end of file
