Create an Elastic Load Balancer

This ArcGIS 10.6 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

You can use the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Management Console to create a classic load balancer and add Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances to it. Follow the instructions in the AWS help to create a classic load balancer and add instances to it.

Tip:

It's recommended that you add instances from a variety of availability zones. This way you still have a running instance if a zone becomes weakened or disabled for any reason. Amazon recommends maintaining the same number of instances in each availability zone because the load balancer distributes traffic equally across availability zones.
