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.

Here is the step by step guide on How to setup Application Load Balancer (ALB)https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-application-load-balancer/
