How do I configure and attach an internet gateway for use with Elastic Load Balancing?

Resolution

First, create an internet gateway and attach it to your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).

Next, configure the internet gateway to route traffic to and from the internet:

• Add an entry to the route table for your subnet that points to your internet gateway.
• Confirm that your Amazon VPC's security groups and network access control list (ACL) allow traffic to and from the internet. For example configurations for network ACLs, see Network ACL rules .
• Confirm that any instances that route traffic through the internet gateway have a public IP address or an attached Elastic IP address.
• If you're creating a new load balancer, choose an internet-facing load balancer.
