Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) porazdeljuje dohodno promet preko več ciljev (EC2 instanc, kontejnerjev itd.) — izboljšuje razpoložljivost (ni enotne točke odpovedi) in razširljivost (porazdelitev obremenitve). Je ključna komponenta za zanesljive in razširljive aplikacije.
Kaj počne uravnjevalnik obremenitve
A LOAD BALANCER sits in front of multiple backend targets and distributes requests:
Client → LOAD BALANCER → ┬→ Instance 1
├→ Instance 2
└→ Instance 3
→ spreads traffic across targets (scalability + no single instance overloaded)
→ HEALTH CHECKS: routes only to HEALTHY targets (an unhealthy one is bypassed)
→ if a target fails, traffic goes to the others → HIGH AVAILABILITY
→ single entry point (clients hit the LB, not individual instances)
