What is Amazon ELB and how does it benefit my applications?›
Amazon ELB (Elastic Load Balancing) is a fully managed load balancing service that automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple Amazon EC2 instances. This improves the availability and fault tolerance of your application, ensuring even distribution of workloads, optimized performance, and scalability as demand for your application grows.
What types of load balancers are available in Amazon ELB?›
Amazon ELB offers three types of load balancers: Application Load Balancer (ideal for HTTP and HTTPS traffic), Network Load Balancer (suitable for TCP, TLS, and UDP traffic), and Classic Load Balancer (provides basic load balancing across multiple Amazon EC2 instances).
Can I use Amazon ELB with instances in multiple Availability Zones?›
Yes, Amazon ELB supports load balancing of instances across multiple Availability Zones within a region. This feature ensures high availability and fault tolerance, and helps distribute traffic evenly among healthy instances in different zones.
What security features does Amazon ELB offer?›
Amazon ELB offers several security features to ensure the safety of your applications and data. This includes integrated certificate management, support for SSL/TLS offloading, and the option to use security groups, which act as virtual firewalls for your instances. Moreover, ELB can also work with AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) to allow or block requests based on specified rules.
How am I billed for using Amazon ELB?›
With Amazon ELB, you are billed based on the hours or partial hours you run the load balancer, and the amount of data processed. Each type of load balancer has a separate pricing model, which can be found on the Amazon ELB pricing page.
