static IP for load balancer

I have elastic beanstalk service (HTTP) with elastic IP address assigned. I need to have service with SSL certificate, so I created app load balancer.

APP Load Balancer (HTTPS) >> EC2 (HTTP)

Is it possible to have public static IP addresses for my HTTPS service?

No, if you are terminating SSL on your load balancer this is not possible.

It may be possible to use a Network Load Balancer (NLB) with a proxy behind it which would allow you to use static IPs, but this seems overly complicated. Why do you need static IPs?

The architecture would look like:

NLB --TCP--> Proxy Layer --TCP--> ELB(SSL) --HTTP--> Back End

  • NLB layer can have static IPs
  • The proxy layer (HAProxy) in an autoscaling group forwards connections to the ELB
  • ELB does the SSL temination
  • Finally, the back end services in their own ASG

I'm not sure if this would be possible with Beanstalk though.
