Load Balancer-7

Load balancers distribute traffic across EC2 instances in multiple availability zones and can be categorized into four types: Classic, Application, Network, and Gateway Load Balancers. They utilize various policies such as Round Robin, Weighted, and Least Connection to manage traffic distribution effectively. Each type of load balancer operates at different layers of the OSI model, catering to specific application needs and performance requirements.

Rahul Saini
Load Balancer
Load Balancer are used to
distribute traffic across EC2
instances in one or more AZs.

Target Group
Group of instacne that decide
that on which instance the
traffic has to go.

Load Balancer policies

Round Robin :- Simple Technique of


distributing the load across the target
group’s instance in a rotating mananer.
( line by line )

Load Balancer policies

Weighted :- It distribute the load


across the target group’s instance on
the basis of their weight.
weight:- High weighted instance will
get higher request to server.

Least Connection :- In this technique


we route the traffic to the server who
has fewest active connections.

Type of Load Balancers

1 Classic Load Balancer


2 Application Load Balancer
3 Network Load Balancer
4 Gateway Load Balancer

Rahul Saini
Application Load Balancer

Application Load Balancer functions at


the application layer, the seventh layer
of the Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) model.

For Web Services, Application load


balancer is used ( 80/443 ).

Rahul Saini
Network Load Balancer
Network Load Balancer functions at
the transport layer, the forth layer of
the Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) model.

Can handle TCP & UDP request.

Network Load Balancer is capable


of handling millions of requests per
second while maintaining ultra-low
latencies.

Rahul Saini
GateWay Load Balancer
Gateway Load Balancer functions at
the network layer, the third layer of the
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
model.

Hardware firewall
Before the load balancer the traffic
has to go through the firewall.

Rahul Saini
Classic Load Balancer
Classic Load Balancer functions at the
7th and 4th layer of Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) model.

Choose a Classic Load Balancer


when you have an existing
application running in the EC2-
Classic network.
