A company is deploying a web application that must remain highly available and able to handle varying levels of traffic. Which service should they implement to evenly distribute incoming traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, to achieve this requirement?
Implementing a load balancer
Deploying AWS Global Accelerator to improve application performance
Adding an Amazon CloudFront distribution for content delivery
A load balancer is designed to distribute incoming network traffic across a group of backend resources or servers. By spreading the load, it ensures no single server bears too much demand. This helps to increase the reliability and availability of applications by routing traffic only to healthy targets capable of handling the requests. The incorrect options, while AWS services, do not fulfill the specific function of distributing traffic across multiple targets for the purpose of load balancing.
