About AWS Elastic Load Balancing
Elastic Load Balancing automatically routes incoming application traffic across multiple destinations, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, Lambda functions, and virtual appliances. You can control the variable load of your application traffic in a single zone or in multiple Availability Zones. Elastic Load Balancing offers four types of load balancers that have the necessary level of high availability, automatic scalability, and security to make your applications fault tolerant. Elastic Load Balancing is part of the AWS network, with native knowledge of fault limits like AZ to keep your applications available in one region, without requiring Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB). ELB is also a fully managed service, which means you can focus on delivering applications and not installing fleets of load balancers. Capacity is automatically added and removed based on the utilization of the underlying application servers.

Amazon Route 53
Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service. It is designed to give developers and businesses an extremely reliable and cost-effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating names into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. Amazon Route 53 is fully compliant with IPv6 as well. Amazon Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in AWS, such as Amazon EC2 instances, Elastic Load Balancing load balancers, or Amazon S3 buckets, and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of AWS. You can use Amazon Route 53 to configure DNS health checks, then continuously monitor your applications’ ability to recover from failures and control application recovery with Route 53 Application Recovery Controller. Amazon Route 53 Traffic Flow makes it easy for you to manage traffic globally through a variety of routing types.

Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudFront is a fast content delivery network (CDN) service that securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to customers globally with low latency, high transfer speeds, all within a developer-friendly environment. CloudFront is integrated with AWS – both physical locations that are directly connected to the AWS global infrastructure, as well as other AWS services. CloudFront works seamlessly with services including AWS Shield for DDoS mitigation, Amazon S3, Elastic Load Balancing or Amazon EC2 as origins for your applications, and Lambda@Edge to run custom code closer to customers’ users and to customize the user experience. Lastly, if you use AWS origins such as Amazon S3, Amazon EC2 or Elastic Load Balancing, you don’t pay for any data transferred between these services and CloudFront. Customize the code you run at the AWS content delivery network (CDN) edge using serverless compute features to balance cost, performance, and security.
