Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. ELB works as a traffic manager that directs client requests to healthy backend resources like Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, containers, or IP addresses. This traffic distribution creates a fault-tolerant architecture without single failure points.

In this course, you will learn how to effectively distribute application traffic across multiple AWS targets and use ELB to improve availability and fault tolerance.
