Description: An application target group is a set of instances or resources that a load balancer chooses to distribute incoming requests. This group allows the load balancer to direct traffic efficiently, ensuring that workloads are evenly distributed among available resources. Each target within the group can be a server instance, a container, or any other resource capable of handling requests. Configuring these groups is essential for optimizing the performance and availability of applications, as it allows the load balancer to monitor the status of each target and route traffic only to those that are operational. Additionally, target groups can be configured with different routing policies, allowing customization of how requests are distributed based on the specific needs of the application. This flexibility is key in cloud environments and modern applications, where scalability and resilience are essential for success.
