Albert Wenger said something to me recently that stuck in my head: We live in a stochastic world, but people fail to grasp it because all they experience is right now.

The load balancer forwards a request to any one box and it is processed in a stateless manner - meaning the request is followed by an immediate response and no state is held by the system. The beauty of the cloud is in its scalability - you scale by simply adding more boxes.
