AWS Elastic Load Balancing Reviews & Product Details

Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses. 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 that all feature the high availability, automatic scaling, and robust security necessary to make your applications fault tolerant.

"Balancing The Load Efficiently"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Elastic Load Balancing?

It provides balancing of load and traffic on the network efficiently. And allow using a network according to the needs and load per user and load on the website. It provides excellent rules for listeners and connecting to SSL. It provides great availability. It integrates with other AWS services and works with them very efficiently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Elastic Load Balancing?

Compared to the application load balancer, it does work much efficiently when we have an extra load. And it also becomes costly when we have a high load. It also does not provide and maintain proper quotas. IT is sometimes tricky to setup for admin. IT should provide multiregion service so it will be helpful when we a single region is not available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
