About this API
Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) is a service that distributes incoming application traffic across multiple EC2 instances. It helps improve the availability and fault tolerance of applications by ensuring that traffic is balanced and no single instance is overwhelmed.
Developers and system administrators use ELB to build scalable and resilient cloud applications. By distributing traffic, ELB enables applications to handle varying loads and maintain performance during peak usage.
Though the input description is limited, ELB is a fundamental component in cloud infrastructure for managing network traffic and improving application reliability.
