Setup Elastic Load Balancers in AWS

I am trying to setup ELB in my AWS hosted website. I figured that for ELB, two instances must be present for load balancing and than load balancers are applied to them.

I have one EC2 instance running already and want to create another instance. I am a newbie to the concept of ELB so I am confused how the second instance must be launched?

Shall I launch the instance with same EBS volume the previous instance is working?

Rajat ,

ELB diverts the traffic equally across the availability Zones ,assume in Singapore zone , there are 2 zones available , SO ELB equally diverts ur traffic across both the zones . SO you need to maintain equal number of identical servers on both the servers ,so that ur traffic can be maintained equally and to avoid extra load on one machine .Both the servers on each zone must be of same instance type for proper load handling . Hope it answers for your doubt .
