Chapter 3. Elastic Load Balancing

High availability and fault tolerance are essential features of any modern-day application. It is essential to distribute the load and also avoid single points of failure when it comes to application access.

AWS-provided Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) automatically distributes incoming traffic to different instances launched in a different availability zone.

AWS Elastic Load Balancing provides the following three types of load balancer:

Application Load Balancer
Network Load Balancer
Classic Load Balancer

In this chapter, we will focus on Application Load Balancer in detail with the use of a sample application.
