    What is the difference between NLB and ALB?

    ASame load balancer
    BNLB: Layer 4 (TCP/UDP), ultra-high performance, static IPs, pass-through. ALB: Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS), content-based routing, WebSocket, host/path rules.

ANS-C01 Load Balancing Exam Tips

Elastic Load Balancing questions in ANS-C01 are typically scenario-based. Focus on advanced networking architecture, hybrid connectivity, and route control. Priority concepts: alb, nlb, gwlb, load balancer, target group, cross-zone.

What ANS-C01 Expects

  • Anchor your answer in select the design that preserves connectivity goals while minimizing blast radius and latency.
  • Load Balancing scenarios for ANS-C01 are frequently mapped to Domain 1 (30%), Domain 4 (24%), so read the objective carefully before picking controls or architecture.
  • Expect multi-topic scenarios where Load Balancing interacts with IAM, networking, storage, or observability patterns rather than appearing as an isolated question.
  • When two options are both technically valid, prefer the choice that best aligns with the exam's operational scope (Specialty) and vendor best practices.

High-Value Load Balancing Concepts

  • Know the core Load Balancing building blocks cold: alb, nlb, gwlb, load balancer.
  • Review the edge-case features and limits for target group, cross-zone; these details are commonly used to differentiate answer choices.
  • Practice service-integration reasoning: how Load Balancing pairs with VPC Design, CloudFront, Network Optimization in real deployment patterns.
  • For ANS-C01, explain why the chosen Load Balancing design meets reliability, security, and cost expectations better than the alternatives.

Common ANS-C01 Traps

  • Watch for non-transitive assumptions in peering and route propagation.
  • Questions in Network Design often include distractors that look correct for Load Balancing but violate least-privilege, durability, or availability requirements.
  • Avoid picking options purely by feature name; validate data path, failure handling, and governance impact before answering.
  • If the prompt hints at automation or repeatability, eliminate manual-only operational answers first.

Fast Review Checklist

  • Can you compare at least two Load Balancing implementation paths and justify which one best fits the scenario?
  • Can you map the chosen answer back to Network Design (30%) outcomes for ANS-C01?
  • Can you explain security and access boundaries for Load Balancing without relying on default-open assumptions?
  • Can you describe how Load Balancing integrates with VPC Design and CloudFront during failure, scaling, and monitoring events?
