IT personnel can now manage the listeners (which detect clientconnections), SSL certificates and SSL ciphers for an existingElastic Load Balancer from within the AWS Management Console,according to Amazon. The functionality has been available via theAPI and command line tools, but many users wanted to be able to usethe console to configure these settings, it said. This upgrade makes it easier to get started and maintain loadbalancing in Amazon's cloud, according to the blog post. Elastic Load Balancing allows users to distribute incoming trafficacross multiple EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) virtual servers, orinstances. The service scales its capacity in response to incomingapplication traffic and when it detects instances with performanceproblems it no longer sends traffic to them, according to Amazon. Amazon has also expanded IPv6 support for Elastic Load Balancing toinclude its U.S. West (Northern California) and U.S. West (Oregon)regions. That means IPv6 support for Elastic Load Balancing is available inall regions but South America (Sao Paolo). The company first added support for using the protocol with itsload balancing service last May, as part of the World IPv6 daytests. However, at that time usage was limited to all Elastic LoadBalancers in the U.S. East (Northern Virginia) and E.U. (Ireland)regions, the company said at the time. The wider support for IPv6 comes as the Internet Society and anumber of equipment vendors, Web companies and operators aregetting ready for the "World IPv6 Launch," which will take place on June 6. Elastic Load Balancing users are charged for each hour or partialhour use and for each gigabyte of data transferred through theElastic Load Balancer. For example, a medium-size website runningon 10 Amazon EC2 instances in Northern Virginia could use oneElastic Load Balancer to balance incoming traffic. If the load balancer ended up transferring 100GB of data over a30-day period, the monthly charge would amount to US$18 (or $0.025per hour x 24 hours per day x 30 days x 1 Elastic Load Balancer)for the load balancer and $0.80 (or $0.008 per GB x 100 GB) for thedata transferred, according to Amazon.
