Has helped improve availability and manage peak traffic more efficiently
I am using Elastic File Store for Amazon File Services, which is the full name of the Elastic File System we are working with. I have been working with Amazon Elastic Load Balancing for more than three years for various applications and moving on from F5. We use Amazon Elastic Load Balancing with AWS FSx, a file service from NetApp. When there is high load and an auto-scaling group is attached, Amazon Elastic Load Balancing provides assistance. It provides content-based routing features of the application load balancer, though this adds to cost, so we have those only for critical apps. I utilize the Network Load Balancer, which we still have on-premises. The Network Load Balancer is helpful for performance enhancement and availability. Amazon Elastic Load Balancing offers flexibility as it can be accessed from various regions and zones. Availability is one of the main benefits that Amazon Elastic Load Balancing provides to my company. For any critical application that needs to be available, we use it primarily for availability. Amazon Elastic Load Balancing helps during peak traffic times by using round-robin ordering to move traffic.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The Elastic Load Balancer facilitates the distribution of incoming application traffic, which directs requests to various servers, preventing overload on a single instance."
"We use the solution for internet-exposed websites and internal load-balancing purposes."
"It has very good features. It is very configurable. Security with TLS, et cetera is also very easy."
"The feature that I like the most is the scalability. The solutions I build often have many pieces, which are very complicated. If a client comes to me with a design, my developer has made this as a template or a cloud formation script. It's a design on paper, and I want it executed a certain way. I can do that quickly and repeatedly with AWS. That is a considerable advantage because I can take that template and do it five times in different zones. That is an excellent feature based on a template, et cetera."
"I appreciate the checks that Elastic Load Balancer performs with the instances to ensure they are running properly."
"The network load balancer is really fast."
"Our company is an AWS partner that sets up, integrates, and supports the solution for our customers."
"Availability is one of the main benefits that Amazon Elastic Load Balancing provides to my company."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the server load balancing. Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."
"The most valuable feature is the application delivery control, which includes server load balancing and global server load balancing."
"Anyone considering Array APV should not hesitate to use the Array Network because it's very light and easy to deploy and the user interface is very easy to understand."
 

Cons

"They could improve provisioning speed."
"The ELB would benefit from allowing deployment in a single availability zone for test servers to avoid unnecessary costs."
"They should improve the solution's pricing."
"Improvements could involve making Amazon Elastic Load Balancing a global service, as currently, it is region-specific."
"The latency compared to the network load balancer could be improved."
"It would be good if we had a product that integrates well with third-party vendors. Some of our customers want a multi-cloud solution. They don't want to be tied up to or be in just one cloud."
"The product should be made as an alternative to Amazon services. It would be easier for us if you got one service that is available everywhere."
"The solution needs to guarantee stability because multiple loads behind a load balancer can cause service unavailability."
"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."
"Technical support should be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a yearly license."
"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of connections one uses. It is a free tool for a certain amount of connections, which runs into thousands, and after that, there is a certain amount to be paid to Amazon."
"The solution's pricing is low and I rate it a nine out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is $30 per month."
"I have no issues with the tool's pricing."
"The product is not cheap."
"The cost for using the application load balancer is approximately $18 to $21 per month."
"I think the price for Array APV is very competitive, and some of our clients are very satisfied when it comes to the price."
