Can ELB Route Traffic Across Regions?

  • Shared load balancers cannot distribute traffic across regions.
  • Dedicated load balancers can distribute traffic across regions or VPCs.
    • To add backend servers in different regions, you can use Cloud Connect to connect the VPCs across regions. For details, see the Cloud Connect User Guide.
    • To add backend servers in a different VPC or an on-premises data center, you need to enable IP as a Backend for the load balancer. For details, see the Configuring Hybrid Load Balancing.
