What is a function of an application load balancer?

Answer options

• A. automatic distribution of TCP traffic
• B. automatic distribution of HTTP and HTTPS traffic
• C. manual distribution of TCP traffic
• D. manual distribution of HTTP and HTTPS traffic

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The application load balancer is specifically designed to automatically manage and distribute HTTP and HTTPS traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they refer to TCP traffic management, which is not the primary function of an application load balancer.
