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.
