Introduction to application load balancersAbiquo supports AWS Application load balancers. Application load balancers can send traffic to target groups, which contain IP addresses or VMs. |
...
Abiquo also continues to support Classic load balancers. See Manage load balancers For a full description of Application load balancers, see the Amazon documentation at: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/introduction.html . An application load balancer requires:

For secure connections (e.g. HTTPS), you can add an SSL certificate.
The platform will never store or validate the SSL certificate
The platform will pass the certificate directly to the provider
Select an existing certificate or add a new one. Cannot be used in platform-only load balancers

An intermediate certificate can be issued by a provider to support older browsers that may not have all of the trusted root certificates for that provider, so that users will not receive invalid TLS warnings. If you have an intermediate certificate, add it at the same time as the certificate to ensure that a trusted-chain certificate is configured.

Before you begin:
Synchronize your virtual datacenters (including VMs, networks, firewalls, firewall rules, and load balancers)
Create firewall policies for your VMs that allow your load balancers to access the VMs
Create a target group with VMs or IP addresses
Create subnets in at least two different availability zones
