ELB can detect problems, stop sending traffic to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the time of maintenance, we need to take out the machine from ELB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the health checks do take a little longer than expected and this can cause some issues if you are not careful when setting up your health check configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to balance high incoming traffic with ease.

The loadbalancer manage ssl certificate and add you ec2 instances automatically without any configuration.

The autoscaling instigation is perfect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon EB takes out all the hardware and configuration headaches, and simply works reliably well with enough flexibility for enterprise scale apps. When configured with auto-scaling, new instances are automatically attached and detached to the EB when load triggers and met to provide sufficient throughput while dynamically adjusting for cost.

Setting up SSL certificates for the first time is no walk in the park. While the interface provides sufficient errors to hint at what works and what doesn't, it would be simply better to have deeper integration with vendors and/or guidance. While we haven't experienced the need for "pre-warming" for larger spikes in traffic, we are aware for the need to do so if we anticipate such events; otherwise, the EB is unable to adapt quickly enough.

Amazon has very nicely integrated their Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) suite with their Elastic Computer 2 (EC2) interface, to the point where it is as if it is one single product. ELB have easy configuration and allow for different certificate propagation methods (along with IP). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to dislike really. If anything, I wish the real time metrics available was not a premium. I suspect it is already built-in but the exposure requires additional cost, which is not easily discernible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
