Elastic Load Balancing Documentation
Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes your incoming traffic across
multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, in one or more
Availability Zones. It monitors the health of its registered targets and routes traffic
only to the healthy targets. You can select the type of load balancer that best suits
your needs.
