AWS Elastic Load Balancer

Let's dive deep into AWS Elastic Load Balancing concepts 🤿

In simple terms, AWS Elastic Load Balancing is a traffic cop for your web application on Amazon Web Services. It automatically routes incoming user requests to multiple servers (like EC2 instances) that are running your application. This helps in two ways:

• Improves performance: By distributing traffic across servers, Elastic Load Balancing prevents any single server from getting overloaded, which can slow things down for users.

• Increases reliability: If one server happens to malfunction, the load balancer keeps sending traffic to the healthy servers, so your application stays up and running for users.

• Highly available applications where downtime is critical.
