AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 419

Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming traffic across multiple _____ instances.

Answer options

• A. EC2
• B. RDS
• C. M3
• D. DB

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) is designed to automatically distribute incoming application or network traffic across multiple Amazon EC2 instances to ensure fault tolerance and high availability. RDS and DB represent database services, which are not the direct targets for ELB traffic distribution, while M3 is simply a specific generation of EC2 instance types rather than the general instance category.
