Amazon Elastic Load Balancing Reviews

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

It has very good features. It is very configurable. Security with TLS, et cetera is also very easy.  It is good performance-wise, and the logging mechanism is also very good because we get the VPC log whenever a request comes. So, we can easily find out where the request is coming from.

What needs improvement?

One issue that we faced with ALB was that leaf-level certificate validation was not happening. It is not that user-friendly in that aspect. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have more than 200 users, and we have 40 technical people.

How are customer service and support?

I have never reached out to them.

How was the initial setup?

Its initial setup is straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There is a yearly license.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution. I would rate it an eight of ten.
