So what would be a use case for using ELBs now? Seems like ALBs do everything ELBs do, but with websocket and HTTP/2 support.

- kronin 10y agoIf your security requirements are such that AWS can't terminate TLS would be one reason.
- caleblloyd 10y agoAlso if you're load balancing any other application protocol other than HTTP/HTTPS. (e.g. SMTP load balancer)

- dexterdog 10y agoIf you're using classic (non-VPC) you have to use classic ELBs.
- lsaferite 10y agoIs there a benefit to using 'Classic'?
- dexterdog 10y agoIf your setup worked under classic you didn't have to setup your VPC and worry about internet gateways and routing all of that stuff. It is better to use VPC and if you have a newer account and in fact you don't even get the option, but some of us have instances that have been running without issue for 7 years and don't want to reconfigure what is working.
