AWS wellarchitected documentation change

Service: wellarchitected · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: wellarchitected/2025-02-25/framework/perf_networking_load_balancing_distribute_traffic.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'Elastic Load Balancing' to 'ELB' and from 'Auto Scaling' to 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling' throughout the document. Also updated link titles to match new terminology.

Security assessment

Changes are purely terminological updates (branding consistency) without altering security functionality. SSL/TLS offloading benefits remain described identically. No evidence of vulnerability fixes or security enhancements.

-Use Auto Scaling integrated with your load balancer. One of the key aspects of a performance efficient system has to do with right-sizing your backend resources. To do this, you can leverage load balancer integrations for backend target resources. Using the load balancer integration with Auto Scaling groups, targets will be added or removed from the load balancer as required in response to incoming traffic. Load balancers can also integrate with [Amazon ECS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/service-load-balancing.html) and [Amazon EKS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/alb-ingress.html) for containerized workloads.
