Lambda as a Target for Application Load Balancer
Allows for serverless application architectures to be
registered as a load balancing target
Invoke Lambda functions to serve HTTP(S)
requests
Greater flexibility to mix-and-match servers
and serverless compute for applications
using a single HTTP endpoint
Robust load balancer controls
