Description: Application Load Balancer Target Groups are collections of resources to which a load balancer routes traffic. These groups allow for efficient management and distribution of user requests across multiple application instances, servers, or services, thereby optimizing performance and availability. Each target group can include different types of resources, such as virtual machine instances, containers, or IP addresses, providing flexibility in application architecture. Additionally, target groups allow for health check policies to verify the status of resources, ensuring that traffic is only directed to those that are operational. This functionality is crucial for maintaining a smooth user experience and minimizing downtime. In the context of cloud computing, target groups are essential for dynamically scaling applications, adapting to variations in workload, and ensuring optimal resource utilization. In summary, Target Groups are a fundamental tool in managing application traffic, enhancing the efficiency and resilience of cloud services.
