A municipal CAD integration needs ultra-low-latency TCP load balancing with health checks across Availability Zones at Layer 4. Which load balancer fits best?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When you need speed at Layer 4, reach for the Network Load Balancer—it is built for TCP/UDP and multi-AZ health checks without HTTP baggage. CloudFront and ALB shine elsewhere. Match the balancer to the protocol.
Full Explanation
Network Load Balancers provide ultra-low-latency Layer 4 load balancing for TCP and UDP with multi-AZ high availability and target health checks. That fits municipal CAD-style TCP integrations that do not need Layer 7 HTTP routing. Application Load Balancers and CloudFront target HTTP/HTTPS and content delivery use cases. Choose NLB when L4 performance and HA are the primary requirements.
