Not directly related but I have one major gripe with ELB--am hopeful you have some inside knowledge and a possible workaround.
I use CloudFlare for DDoS protection which Amazon doesn't offer. For apex domains, ELB requires route53 exclusively but that conflicts with CloudFlare which also requires DNS be hosted there. Since ELB uses CNAME records I haven't been able to find a way for the CloudFlare and ELB to work together (short of polling ELB IP changes every minute which doesn't really work out that well).
- verelo 13y agoYou can still use Route53 with Cloudflare by using their cname setup. This doesnt solve the issue for the apex however, so we have a S3 redirect on the apex. The key thing this allows us to do is continue to use Route53 with Cloudflare.
