AWS Launches Application Load Balancer Option For ELB.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched new Application Load Balancer Option for Elastic Load Balancer (ELB). This option runs at Layer 7 and supports a number of advanced features. The original option (now called a Classic Load Balancer) is still available and continues to offer Layer 4 and Layer 7 functionality.

Application Load Balancers support following functionality :

• Content-based routing
• Supports applications that run in containers
• Support a pair of industry-standard protocols (WebSocket and HTTP/2)
• Provide additional visibility into the health of the target instances and containers.
• Web sites and mobile apps, running in containers or on EC2 instances, will benefit from the use of Application Load Balancers.

OpsDev Is Coming.

OpsDev means that the dependencies of the various application components must be understood and modeled first before the development process begins.

Once we understand the interdependencies of the different data sources and its availability, we can then design the component that ties everything together.
