EC2 - Elastic Load Balancing (ELB)
- 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.
- Elastic Load Balancing monitors the health of its registered targets, and routes traffic only to the healthy targets.
- Elastic Load Balancing scales your load balancer capacity automatically in response to changes in incoming traffic.
