Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes your incoming traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, in one or more Availability Zones. It monitors the health of its registered targets, and routes traffic only to the healthy targets.

Application Load Balancer provides enhanced container support by load balancing across multiple ports on a single Amazon EC2 instance. Deep integration with the Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), provides a fully-managed container offering.

To configure your load balancer, you create target groups, and then register targets with your target groups. You also create listeners to check for connection requests from clients, and listener rules to route requests from clients to the targets in one or more target groups.

This tutorial provides a hands-on introduction to Application Load Balancers through the AWS Management Console, a web-based interface. To create your first Application Load Balancer, complete the following steps. For demos of common load balancer configurations, see Elastic Load Balancing demos.

Jun 7, 2024 · The application load balancer distributes incoming HTTP and HTTPS traffic across multiple targets such as Amazon EC2 Instances, microservices, and containers, based on request attributes.

Application load balancer (ALB), network load balancer (NLB), and gateway load balancer (GLB) are three types of load balancers used in the cloud. Load balancing is the process of distributing network traffic equally across a pool of resources supporting an application. Modern applications process millions of users simultaneously.

Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets and virtual appliances in one or more Availability Zones (AZs). Scale modern applications to meet demand without complex configuration or API gateways. Learn more. Load balance across AWS and on-premises resources using single load balancer.

Nov 18, 2024 · Application Load Balancers are best suited for microservices-based applications, API services, and any architecture that relies on Layer 7 routing features. They are also ideal for scenarios where there is a need for advanced HTTP/HTTPS management.

Sep 1, 2024 · What are AWS Load Balancers? AWS load balancers are managed services that automatically distribute incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, in one or more Availability Zones (AZs).

Oct 10, 2024 · AWS Application Load Balancer is a Layer 7 load balancer that allows you to distribute HTTP/HTTPS traffic across a set of targets (e.g., EC2 instances, Lambda functions, containers, or on-premises servers).
