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.
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.
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.
It is stable. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of stability.
We have more than 200 users, and we have 40 technical people.
I have never reached out to them.
Its initial setup is straightforward.
There is a yearly license.
I would recommend this solution. I would rate it an eight of ten.
