I am using load balancers to send requests across multiple EC2 instances, ensuring that the traffic is distributed evenly. I have two EC2 instances in different availability zones to manage traffic effectively. Additionally, I utilize Elastic Load Balancing to distribute incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances.
In my company, we use it to post, you know, a variety of business applications, like ERP, finance applications, and legal applications, which we post using EC2 instances.

Amazon Elastic Load Balancing is used to automatically scale up and down the number of server nodes we have. For example, if we wanted to provision an EC2 machine as our website server, this one machine might not be able to handle an increase in traffic. If the traffic increases, AWS will automatically add one more machine, which is an exact copy of the other machine, and that will take the additional node. With Amazon Elastic Load Balancing, you set the minimum and maximum limits. For example, at minimum, you should have two servers; at maximum, you can have four servers. So the number of servers can oscillate between two and four depending on the traffic.
I am using the solution to manage the front end of the application. I have a service where multiple clients log in for usage. The solution helps in load balancing by distributing the traffic to the application.
I host virtual machines and multiple web servers in AWS and use Cloudflare as the front end. I don't use the front end offered by AWS. The developer recommended using Cloudflare because it's so much easier. I have only deployed Elastic Load Balancing for two companies so far, but we evaluated it for the university where I previously worked. Unfortunately, they didn't take our advice and went with it. It required a lot of extra effort to integrate it with the firewall.

Application Load Balancer is required for redirecting two or more instances. We have got two EKS instances running. So, we have to connect in a round-robin fashion based on when a request needs to be sent to one EKS and when it needs to be sent to another EKS. For this purpose, we use Application Load Balancer.

We have a lot of customers who are currently not on Amazon; they are running on-premise data centers. When they ask us to migrate, we migrate their applications to Amazon. Load Balancing is often a component we use. We use HTTPS port 443, and we integrate the load balancer with the applications.
What is an application delivery controller (ADC)? An application delivery controller (ADC) is a network component that is primarily used to optimize and manage traffic flow as well as client connections to both web and application servers. ADCs also help with application acceleration and assist with application security. They are typically housed in a data center and their capabilities can be implemented using a hardware or software device. Because they can be installed via hardware or...

We use the solution for internet-exposed websites and internal load-balancing purposes.
We use the tool for load balancing.
We use the solution in our application deployment by configuring the server with the customer's specific port.
We use the tool to move the target location from one location to another.
