You are planning to setup a load balancing solution in AWS. There is a requirement for using HTTPS for the back end instances and using path based routing. Which of the below types of load balancers should be used for this purpose

Answer options:

A.Classic Load balancer
B.Application Load balancer
C.Network Load balancer
D.Secondary Load balancer

Answer - B
Some of the key points of the Application Load balancer over the classic load balancer is
1. Support for path-based routing. You can configure rules for your listener that forward requests based on the URL in the request. This enables you to structure your application as smaller services, and route requests to the correct service based on the content of the URL.
2. Support for host-based routing. You can configure rules for your listener that forward requests based on the host field in the HTTP header. This enables you to route requests to multiple domains using a single load balancer.
