Episode 59: Elastic Load Balancing
from Certified - AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Audio Course Hosted by Jason Edwards
In this episode, we explore AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), a service that automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, or IP addresses. ELB helps you ensure that your applications can handle varying levels of traffic while maintaining high availability and fault tolerance. We’ll walk you through the different types of load balancers available in AWS: the Classic Load Balancer, the Application Load Balancer (ALB), and the Network Load Balancer (NLB). Each type has different use cases, and we’ll explain which one is best suited for your application’s needs. We’ll also cover how to set up and configure ELB for high availability, including configuring health checks to ensure that traffic is only routed to healthy instances. ELB integrates seamlessly with Auto Scaling, enabling your environment to scale automatically in response to traffic changes. By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to leverage Elastic Load Balancing to ensure that your applications are highly available, scalable, and resilient.
