Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) is an AWS service that automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets (such as EC2 instances, containers, or IPs) in one or more availability zones. It improves fault tolerance and scalability by balancing load and health-checking targets, offering different types (Application, Network, Gateway) to handle varying traffic patterns while offloading TLS/SSL and providing high availability.
Leading hosted platforms
Frequently replaced when teams want private deployments and lower TCO.
