Hybrid website hosting and load balancing

I am planning on moving our website to the cloud (AWS). However this is going to be a big endeavor so i will migrate pages in different tempos.

On prem I have a number of servers behind a load balancer (netscaler).

When moving for instance the front page to AWS, where should I place the load balancer on prem or AWS? Is it at all feasible to have one website hosted in AWS and on prem with the latency the load balancer would have to the part located the furthest away?

For instance if i have page1 hosted on prem and page 2 hosted in AWS and the load balancer hosted on prem, an end user would have a latency to the on prem load balancer, and the load balancer would have latency to the AWS page 2 service - that could double the latency And vice verse.

AWS Application load balancer ELB supports IP Targets, which means you can use your on-premise servers as a target for some specific pages

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-application-load-balancing-via-ip-address-to-aws-on-premises-resources/

with aws application load balancer you can also define rules, for example you can configure specific URI to be routing to your on-premise target group
