title: Are Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) failure proof?
body: <p>The title might be a little too much, but i am unable to find any statements regarding this. I am trying to set up computes in multiple AZ's (in a region) with <code>auto-scaling</code>. i am also trying to see if i can get away with only one ELB to do the load balancing act. </p>
  
  <p>In this setup, the ELB is a single point of failure so, I would like to know, if anyone knows the recovery associated with ELB's. There are documentations about scaling in ELB but not the recovery/higher availability. </p>
  
  <p>thanks </p>
