Difficulty: unrated

Source: bregman-arie/devops-exercises by Arie Bregman

Answer

The period of time or process of "draining" instances from requests/traffic (basically let it complete all active connections but don't start new ones) so it can be de-registered eventually and ELB won't send requests/traffic to it anymore.
