I wish Amazon would switch to a 'provisioned throughput' model for ELB like they have for DynamoDB, where you say what level of throughput you want to support and you're billed on that rather than actual traffic. Then they keep sufficient capacity available to support that service level. So if you expect flash traffic, you just bump up your provisioned throughput. Simple and transparent.

You can contact AWS support if needed, and they'll warm up the ELB ahead of time. http://serverfault.com/a/321371 http://serverfault.com/a/321371 https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=76834 https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=76834 It's not perfect, but works in a pinch.
