Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Load Balancing

We use the Amazon Elastic Load Balancing as a single entry point for end-clients or end-users of the EC2 instances to distribute incoming traffic across all machines available in the different availability zones to receive requests. We use it across all applications we deploy to the different environments. It fits well with the security groups and auto-scaling settings.
  • Fair price for a all-featured load balancing solution
  • High availability and elasticity. It is secured by Amazon.
  • Integrates well with Amazon WAF
  • There are not a lot of cons but we can mention the need to always check the quotas for the ELB
  • Cost effective
  • Single integration with different apps (websites, mobile app, etc)
  • Improved security
  • Allow to create different load balancers based: ALB, CLB, NLB
We have not used any other solution out there in the market but our dev-ops team did deep research and AWS provided us the solution we needed to be cost-effective. Also, the decision to keep working with Amazon was strategic. We were already using other AWS features and [Amazon Elastic Load Balancing] integrates great with those.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
We use Amazon Elastic Load Balancers to serve mobile applications and websites. It works really well. We have not had any problems until now. Last year we integrated the AWS ELB with the EC2 Auto Scaling and now we have a fully working elastic solution. We increase/decrease EC2s instances based on traffic over our load balancers.
