Elastic Load Balancing Load Balancer

An Elastic Load Balancing Load Balancer in AWS automatically distributes incoming application or network traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses. It improves availability, fault tolerance, and scalability by routing traffic only to healthy resources. Different types of load balancers are available, including Application, Network, and Classic, each optimized for specific use cases.
