EC2 - ELB

Load Balances are servers that forward traffic to multiple servers (e.g., EC2 instances) downstream.

Why use a load balancer?

• Spread load across multiple downstream instances.

• Expose a single point of access (DNS) to your application.

• Seamlessly handle failures of downstream instances.

• Do regular health checks to your instances.

• Provide SSL termination (HTTPS) for your websites.

• Enforce stickiness with cookies

• High availability across zones • Separate public traffic from private traffi
