# Section Introduction

> This lesson explores load balancing and autoscaling with a focus on AWS services, covering Elastic Load Balancers and setting up autoscaling for EC2 instances.

In this lesson, we will explore the concepts of load balancing and autoscaling with a focus on AWS services. Our discussion is divided into two key parts:

1. An overview of the different types of Elastic Load Balancers provided by AWS.
2. A deep dive into setting up autoscaling, a process that automatically provisions new [Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)](https://learn.kodekloud.com/user/courses/amazon-elastic-compute-cloud-ec2) instances to handle traffic surges and scales them down when demand decreases.

  Autoscaling ensures that your application remains responsive during traffic spikes and becomes more cost-efficient by reducing resources during periods of low demand.
