Enterprises and professionals seeking a tool to deploy, scale, and run third-party virtual appliances
About AWS Gateway Load Balancer
Gateway Load Balancer helps you easily deploy, scale, and manage your third-party virtual appliances. It gives you one gateway for distributing traffic across multiple virtual appliances while scaling them up or down, based on demand. This decreases potential points of failure in your network and increases availability. You can find, test, and buy virtual appliances from third-party vendors directly in AWS Marketplace. This integrated experience streamlines the deployment process so you see value from your virtual appliances more quickly, whether you want to keep working with your current vendors or try something new. Gateway Load Balancer takes care of scale, availability, and service delivery so that the AWS Partner Network and AWS Marketplace can deliver virtual appliances more quickly. With Gateway Load Balancer, you can also work with select partners that offer fully managed security solutions, making it easier to set up infrastructure security services within minutes.

AWS Elastic Load Balancing
Elastic Load Balancing automatically routes incoming application traffic across multiple destinations, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, Lambda functions, and virtual appliances. You can control the variable load of your application traffic in a single zone or in multiple Availability Zones. Elastic Load Balancing offers four types of load balancers that have the necessary level of high availability, automatic scalability, and security to make your applications fault tolerant. Elastic Load Balancing is part of the AWS network, with native knowledge of fault limits like AZ to keep your applications available in one region, without requiring Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB). ELB is also a fully managed service, which means you can focus on delivering applications and not installing fleets of load balancers. Capacity is automatically added and removed based on the utilization of the underlying application servers.
