Elastic Load Balancing

Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets and virtual appliances in one or more Availability Zones (AZs). ELB supports three types of load balancers: Application Load Balancer, Gateway Load Balancer, and Network Load Balancer. This flexibility allows you to optimize application load balancing for your specific scenario, whether it's a simple web app or a complex, multi-tier application architecture.

Key features include:

  • Secure your applications with SSL/TLS termination, integrated certificate management, and client certificate authentication.
  • Deliver applications with high availability and automatic scaling.
  • Monitor the health and performance of your applications in real time, uncover bottlenecks, and maintain SLA compliance.
