What I like most about AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) is how it automatically distributes incoming traffic across multiple targets, which improves application availability, scalability, and fault tolerance. It also integrates smoothly with Auto Scaling, ECS, EKS, EC2, and Lambda, so applications can handle traffic spikes without needing manual intervention.

I also appreciate the flexibility it offers through support for Application Load Balancer (ALB), Network Load Balancer (NLB), Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB), and Classic Load Balancer, making it easier to choose the right option for different workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While ELB is straightforward to configure for standard deployments, advanced routing rules, SSL certificate management, and more complex networking scenarios still require a solid understanding of AWS networking. Monitoring and troubleshooting application-level issues can also be challenging and may require additional observability tools to get the visibility you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
