ELB Core Concepts
Key ELB concepts include listeners, target groups, routing rules and health checks. Different load balancer types fit different traffic patterns.
Why it matters
Understanding these components makes troubleshooting much easier.
How it works
Listener receives traffic → rule selects target group → health checks determine eligible targets → traffic is forwarded.
Core Concept
Client → load balancer → target group → healthy target.
The load balancer reduces direct dependency on a single application instance.
