Route Traffic to Multiple Target Groups using Load Balancer Listener Rules | AWS Load Balancing

Video Description

In a prior video (https://youtu.be/ZGGpEwThhrM), we saw how to create a simple application load balancer that routed traffic to a single target group. But what if you have a more complicated use case? For example, what if you need to route GET and POST requests differently? Or route differently based on the user’s browser? Or the destination path? Or something in the query string? For that, you’ll need to work with multiple target groups, setting up listener rules to route traffic to the appropriate place. In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll walk you through how set up a load balancer that uses two target groups. The load balancer will route traffic based on listener rules that we’ll define. 🌟🌟If you’re interested in getting AWS certifications, check out these full courses.
