How to gracefully shut down or remove AWS instances from an ELB group?

This idea uses the ELB's capability to detect an unhealthy node and remove it from the pool BUT it relies upon the ELB behaving as expected in the assumptions below. This is something I've been meaning to test for myself but haven't had the time yet. I'll update the answer when I do.

The recommended way for distributing traffic from your ELB is to have an equal number of instances across multiple availability zones. For example.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
