Advantages of Elastic Load Balancer
- ELB automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, to achieve high availability.
- It can automatically scale to handle changes in traffic demand, allowing you to maintain consistent application performance.
- It can monitor the health of its registered targets and route traffic only to the healthy targets.
- It evenly distributes traffic across all availability zones in a region, improving fault tolerance.
