-Hardware load balancers are a common network appliance used in traditional web application architectures. AWS provides this capability through the [ELB](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/) (ELB) service. ELB automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/) functions, and virtual appliances. It can handle the varying load of your application traffic in a single Availability Zone or across multiple Availability Zones. ELB offers four types of load balancers that all feature the high availability, automatic scaling, and robust security necessary to make your applications fault tolerant.
