Load balancing is a method used to distribute incoming connections across a group of servers or services.
- Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) automates distributing traffic evenly to all instances in multiple AZs within a region.
- Cross Zone Load Balancing allows load balancers to cross multiple AZs.
- SSL can be directly applied to ELB – can help reduce the compute power on an EC2 instance.
