Elastic Load Balancing

English

Overview

AWS's load-balancing service for distributing traffic across multiple EC2 instances and more.

Details

It's split into types by use case: ALB (for HTTP/HTTPS), NLB (high-performance TCP/UDP), and GWLB (for third-party appliances). Combined with health checks, it automatically stops routing traffic to an unhealthy instance.
