In this recipe, we created an internet-facing load balancer. We set the listening protocol to HTTPS (Secure HTTP) and on the Configure Security Settings page, we selected an ACM certificate. We set the Security policy to ELBSecurityPolicy-2016-08. The security policy is an SSL negotiation configuration that's used to negotiate SSL connections with clients.
We terminated TLS at the ELB level. Note that the connection to the instance from the ELB is without TLS. The application load balancer only supports TLS/SSL termination at the ELB level. The network load balancer and classic load balancer can be used for terminating TLS/SSL at the EC2 instance level by using the TCP protocol on port 443.
