-Registering your Auto Scaling group with an ELB load balancer helps you set up a load-balanced application. ELB works with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to distribute incoming traffic across your healthy Amazon EC2 instances. This increases the scalability and availability of your application. You can enable ELB within multiple Availability Zones to increase the fault tolerance of your applications.
