Elastic Load balancer
Load balancing is the method of distributing network traffic equally across a pool of resources that support an application
Load balancing is like the work done by a manager in a restaurant. Consider a restaurant with five waiters. If customers were allowed to choose their waiters, one or two waiters could be overloaded with work while the others are idle. To avoid this scenario, the restaurant manager assigns customers to the specific waiters who are best suited to serve them.
not used kinda outdated sends traffic directly to ec2 instance
An Application Load Balancer makes routing decisions at the application layer (HTTP/HTTPS), supports path-based routing, and can route requests to one or more ports on each container instance in your cluster we can specify path and queries to redirect to a particular target group
Create target group goto load balancer > listner View edit rule goAdd rules and specify the route
based on network layer used fr redirecting to ports etc ..
