Network Load Balancer
Features
Amazon Network Load Balancer (NLB) is a highly scalable and performant load balancing service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It directs incoming traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, to ensure even distribution and optimal availability of applications.
Layer 4 Load Balancing
NLB operates at the transport layer (Layer 4) of the OSI model, distributing traffic based on IP protocol data. It’s ideal for handling TCP and UDP traffic.
High Throughput
NLB is designed to handle high volumes of traffic with low latency and high throughput, making it suitable for applications that require consistent and fast performance.
Elastic Scalability
NLB scales automatically in response to incoming traffic without manual intervention, ensuring that the load balancer can accommodate varying workloads.
Cross-Zone Load Balancing
NLB automatically distributes traffic evenly across instances in multiple Availability Zones, enhancing fault tolerance and redundancy.
TLS Termination
NLB can terminate SSL/TLS traffic at the backend instances, offloading the cryptographic workload from the instances and improving overall performance.
Static IP Addresses
NLB provides a static IP address for the load balancer, allowing clients to connect using a consistent IP address even as instances behind the load balancer change.
Integrated Health Checks
NLB regularly monitors the health of registered targets by sending health checks to them. It automatically routes traffic away from unhealthy targets.
Port Mapping
NLB allows users to define port mappings for traffic distribution, supporting scenarios where different ports are used for different types of application traffic.
Amazon Network Load Balancer is a powerful load balancing solution that offers high performance, low latency, and automatic scalability. It’s suitable for applications that require efficient distribution of Layer 4 traffic across multiple targets while maintaining high availability and robustness.
