- An external client transmits a request to the NLB. The request is encrypted with TLS using the production (e.g., client facing) certificate, and on port 443. The NLB decrypts the request, and transmits it on to your cluster on port 80. It follows the standard request routing configured within the cluster.

Jan 24, 2019 · Today we are simplifying the process of building secure web applications by giving you the ability to make use of TLS (Transport Layer Security) connections that terminate at a Network Load Balancer (you can think of TLS as providing the “S” in HTTPS).

- Network Load Balancer Now Supports TLS Termination
AWS introduced TLS termination for network load balancers (NLBs) for enhanced security and cost effectiveness. The TLS implementation used by the AWS NLB is formally verified and maintained. Additionally, AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) is used, fully isolating your cluster from access to the private key.
Apr 19, 2024 · Network Load Balancer (NLB) - While primarily used for TCP traffic where one might not expect TLS termination, NLB can handle TLS termination as of recent updates. This is useful for scenarios where high performance and low latency are critical.
Jan 24, 2019 · With this new feature, you can offload the decryption/encryption of TLS traffic from your application servers to the Network Load Balancer, which helps you optimize the performance of your backend application servers while keeping your workloads secure.
Oct 11, 2019 · How is TLS termination implemented in AWS NLB? AWS NLB supports TLS termination https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-tls-termination-for-network-load-balancers/. NLB being a Layer 4 load balancer I would expect it to work in a passthrough mode by directing the incoming packets to one of the backends without much of state maintenance (except for ...
Sep 16, 2024 · The Application Load Balancer (ALB) performs TLS termination when you create an HTTPS listener. Similarly, the Network Load Balancer (NLB) performs TLS termination when you create a TLS listener.
Oct 14, 2021 · TLS 1.3 on NLB works by offloading encryption and decryption of TLS traffic from your application servers to the load balancer, and provides encryption all the way to your targets. TLS 1.3 is optimized for performance and security by using one round trip (1-RTT) TLS handshakes and only supporting ciphers that provide perfect forward secrecy.
