Amazon Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) Overview

Submitted by heartin on Sat, 12/23/2017 - 10:29

A load balancer is a device that acts as a reverse proxy and distributes network or application traffic across a number of servers. Load balancers are used to increase capacity (concurrent users) and reliability of applications. 

Amazon Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple EC2 instances. ELB also automatically scales its request handling capacity to meet the demands of application traffic.

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides persistent block storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances.

Each EBS volume is automatically replicated within its Availability Zone to protect you from component failure.

With EBS, you can scale your usage up or down within minutes.

EBS is designed for application workloads that benefit from fine tuning for performance, cost and capacity.

About

CloudMaterials is my blog to share notes and learning materials on Cloud and Data Analytics. My current focus is on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

I like to write and I try to document what I learn to share with others. I believe that knowledge is useless unless you share it; the more you share, the more you learn.
