What Is Load Balancing?
A Load Balancer as the name suggests balances the load coming on the application component, in cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), it distributes incoming network traffic to multiple servers. the main goal of the load balancer is to improve the availability, scalability, and reliability of applications by fairly distributing network traffic and preventing any one server from becoming overloaded, therefore this will improve the overall application performance.
The load balancer is attached to an application in such a way that it faces firstly the network traffic so it can able to distribute it efficiently.
How To Integrate AWS Auto Scaling With Classical Load Balancer ?
Auto Scaling is a service in Amazon Web Services (AWS) with the help of an EC2 instance that automatically changes the number of instances as per the user’s application demand. this nature of auto-scaling helps to achieve high availability for an application without any high cost.
The elasticity feature of auto-scaling allows users to scale up and down their application resources based on predefined attributes like desired capacity, minimum capacity, and maximum capacity. This ultimately helps applications manage user traffic coming to them without disturbing the overall working of the application.
