Network Load Balancer (v2)

Network Load Balancer (v2)¶

• Network [[Load Balancer]]s ([[layer 4]]) allow to do:
  • Forward [[TCP]] traffic to your instances
  • Handle millions of requests per seconds
  • Support for [[static IP]] or elastic IP
  • Less latency ~100ms (vs 400ms for Application Load Balancer (v2))
• Network Load Balancers are mostly used for extreme performance and should not be the the default load balancer you choose
• Overall, the creation process is the same as Application Load Balancer (v2)
