#Host-based routing for the Application Load Balancer
AWS offers new a host-based routing for the Application Load Balancer, which can be used to route requests based on the HTTP header. For this new feature, AWS has also increased the number of load balancer rules to 75.
The advantages are:
-
a single Application Load Balancer can manage multiple routing logs for applications and web pages and also route various domains
-
even complex queries can be processed with only one load balancer system for all domains and subdomains
-
a total re-engineering is no longer necessary for changes
