Application Load Balancers now support the configuration of a traffic duration setting when you add backends to backend services.

Application Load Balancers now support the configuration of a traffic duration setting when you add backends to backend services. You can configure this setting as SHORT or LONG based on the response time needed by backends to complete HTTP requests.

Application Load Balancers also support the use of the in-flight balancing mode that lets you configure the load balancer's traffic distribution to supported backends when requests take more than a second to complete.

This feature is in General availability.
