Elastic Load Balancing Network Load Balancer Icon

Elastic Load Balancing Network Load Balancer distributes incoming network traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances or containers. It's ideal for applications needing high throughput and low latency, handling traffic at the transport layer (layer 4) using IP addresses and port numbers. This makes it suitable for applications like HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP, without needing to inspect the application layer data. Essentially, it acts as a reverse proxy, directing traffic efficiently for improved availability and performance.
