Amazon's Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, and Lambda functions. It can handle the varying load of your application traffic in a single Availability Zone or across multiple Availability Zones. Elastic Load Balancing offers three types of load balancers with the vendor states all feature the high availability, automatic scaling, and robust security necessary to make applications fault tolerant.

Application delivery controllers (ADC) are devices housed in a data center between firewalls and application servers, existing basically for the purpose of application acceleration, reducing load on websites and performing load balancing, as well as other features (SSL offload, proxy/reverse proxy, a firewall for web applications, and more). They are part of an application delivery network (ADN), along with WAN optimization controllers (WOCs).

Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience - Amazon continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform.

Founded by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com website started in 1995 as a place to buy books because of the unique customer experience the Web could offer book lovers. Bezos believed that only the Internet could offer customers the convenience of browsing a selection of millions of book titles in a single sitting. During the first 30 days of business, Amazon fulfilled orders for customers in 50 states and 45 countries - all shipped from his Seattle-area garage.

Amazon's evolution from Web site to e-commerce partner to development platform is driven by the spirit of innovation that is part of the company's DNA. The world's brightest technology minds come to Amazon.com to research and develop technology that improves the lives of shoppers and sellers around the world.

Elastic Load Balancing

At the moment we are looking at using the elastic load balancer provided by Amazon web services in a trial fashion. Our company has been migrating more and more of our in-house developed applications from on-site platforms to the AWS web platform. Part of this involves routing traffic across the newly deployed microservices and we are looking into using the elastic load balancer to help with this. So far it seems promising although our scale is admittedly low. We have not yet decided to migrate everything over to elb from our previous setup however results are promising as with anything else on the AWS suite the more we use it the more we like it. As far as business problems being addressed it's simply a matter of the security of being the host of the cloud versus having to maintain everything on site and as such the more options we use provided by Amazon web services the less we have to do ourselves.

Most obviously it works great for routing traffic between components hosted on Amazon web services
The ability to dynamically spin up connections is fantastic.
In general the ease of use and configuration is a selling point.

So far our experience has been limited with the ability for elb to handle transactions when only part of the platform is on Amazon web services.

Dynamically spitting off new connections as back end or front end services are spun up
Ease of integration within the AWS platform
The pay as you need the mentality of AWS in general and in specific with the elb is a wonderful benefit

Currently it is too soon to say for sure what kind of impact this will have.
The ideal goal is that this will be cheaper than having to host our own routing on site.

We are using Amazon Elastic Load Balancing for our digital learning platform, as part of our suite of AWS products, in order to keep abreast of the stress on our various network targets and make sure the loads between them remain balanced. We also use it to troubleshoot slowdowns or bottlenecks in the network by running the diagnostics that Amazon Elastic Load Balancing provides.

I like being able to check the status of the load on any of our targets, in real time
It is helpful to be able to run diagnostics when we have slowdowns in the network
Amazon Elastic Load Balancing integrates well with the other AWS products we are using

Occasionally we have a huge number of users using our network at once, and Amazon ELB isn't quite fast enough to scale effectively when that occurs. But this doesn't happen very often as our usage is usually quite stable
If we want to add another application to our learning suite, we would have to add another load balancer, which would incur additional cost
The setup was not easy and could really only be handled by one person on our team with the technical background to do so

Integration with other AWS applications
Ability to run diagnostics on network slowdowns or bottlenecks
Customization of notifications so we can tell when the network is having issues based on our own benchmarks

Allows us to troubleshoot and address network issues, which improves our end user experience
Provides an integrated way to balance our network load without having to deal with other suites besides AWS, saving time and effort
Allows us to see the effects that different code changes have on our network performance, which means more efficient development on the back end

AWS Auto Scaling, AWS Lambda, AWS Managed Services

We use the Amazon Elastic Load Balancing as a single entry point for end-clients or end-users of the EC2 instances to distribute incoming traffic across all machines available in the different availability zones to receive requests. We use it across all applications we deploy to the different environments. It fits well with the security groups and auto-scaling settings.

Fair price for a all-featured load balancing solution
High availability and elasticity. It is secured by Amazon.
Integrates well with Amazon WAF

There are not a lot of cons but we can mention the need to always check the quotas for the ELB

Cost effective
Single integration with different apps (websites, mobile app, etc)
Improved security
Allow to create different load balancers based: ALB, CLB, NLB

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

We decided to use Amazon Elastic Load Balancing in conjunction with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to host our websites. We have websites that have peak traffic on some periods of the year, so we needed an elastic infrastructure that helps us to serve our websites with no downtimes and good performance. And that's what we get using this platform. So, we now have more reliable websites.

Good price for a complete load balancing solution
Very useful rules editor on listener
Working in conjuction with AWS WAF, is a good option to protect your applications

Unsing certificates from Amazon Certficate Manager don't work well
On high traffic websites can be pricey
HTTP/2 implementation creates problems from time to time on Apple devices / Safari

Cost effective solution: we now have more websites, that work better and we pay same as before migrating to AWS
Help us on improved security, allowing us to use AWS WAF
Rules on listeners allow us to do complicated stuff by ourselves
