With Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), you can reduce the risk of overloading your application by distributing traffic across many backend instances. Elastic Load Balancing can scale automatically, allowing you to manage larger volumes when you have unanticipated extra traffic, for example, due to flash crowds or DDoS attacks. For applications built within an Amazon VPC, there are three types of ELBs to consider, depending on your application type: Application Load Balancer (ALB), Network Load Balancer (NLB) and Classic Load Balancer (CLB). +Large DDoS attacks can overwhelm the capacity of a single Amazon EC2 instance.
