Application Load Balancer
Application Load Balancer is best suited for load balancing of HTTP and HTTPS traffic and provides advanced request routing targeted at the delivery of modern application architectures, including microservices and containers. Operating at the individual request level (Layer 7), Application Load Balancer routes traffic to targets within Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) based on the content of the request.
Network Load Balancer
Network Load Balancer is best suited for load balancing of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) traffic where extreme performance is required. Operating at the connection level (Layer 4), Network Load Balancer routes traffic to targets within Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) and is capable of handling millions of requests per second while maintaining ultra-low latencies. Network Load Balancer is also optimized to handle sudden and volatile traffic patterns.
Classic Load Balancer
Classic Load Balancer provides basic load balancing across multiple Amazon EC2 instances and operates at both the request level and connection level. Classic Load Balancer is intended for applications that were built within the EC2-Classic network.
Elastic Load Balancing Features
- Elastic Load Balancing Use Cases
- Achieve better fault tolerance for your applications
Elastic Load Balancing provides fault tolerance for your applications by automatically balancing traffic across targets – Amazon EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, and Lambda functions – in multiple Availability Zones while ensuring only healthy targets receive traffic. If all of your targets in a single Availability Zone are unhealthy, Elastic Load Balancing will route traffic to healthy targets in other Availability Zones.
- Automatically load balance your containerized applications
With enhanced container support for Elastic Load Balancing, you can now load balance across multiple ports on the same Amazon EC2 instance. You can also take advantage of deep integration with the Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS), which provides a fully-managed container offering. Simply register a service with a load balancer, and ECS transparently manages the registration and de-registration of Docker containers.
- Automatically scale your applications
Elastic Load Balancing provides confidence that your applications will scale to the demands of your customers. With the ability to trigger Auto Scaling for your Amazon EC2 instance fleet when latency of any one of your EC2 instances exceeds a preconfigured threshold, your applications will always be ready to serve the next customer request.
- Using Elastic Load Balancing in your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)
Elastic Load Balancing makes it easy to create an internet-facing entry point into your VPC or to route request traffic between tiers of your application within your VPC. You can assign security groups to your load balancer to control which ports are open to a list of allowed sources. Because Elastic Load Balancing is integrated with your VPC, all of your existing Network Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Routing Tables continue to provide additional network controls.
- Hybrid load balancing with Elastic Load Balancing
Elastic Load Balancing offers ability to load balance across AWS and on-premises resources using the same load balancer. For example, if you need to distribute application traffic across both AWS and on-premises resources, you can achieve this by registering all the resources to the same target group and associating the target group with a load balancer.
- Invoking Lambda functions over HTTP(S)
Elastic Load Balancing supports invoking Lambda functions to serve HTTP(S) requests. This enables users to access serverless applications from any HTTP client, including web browsers. You can register Lambda functions as targets and leverage the support for content-based routing rules in Application Load Balancers to route requests to different Lambda functions. You can use an Application Load Balancer as a common HTTP endpoint for applications that use servers and serverless computing.
