How to set up the Cloudflare AWS Load Balancer?

If you're looking for a way to use a load balancer and benefit from Cloudflare's features, you've found the right place. Our AWS Support Team has put together this guide to help you with the AWS load balancer Cloudflare.

Part 1:

1. Start by creating a new load balancer in the console.

2. Select HTTP or HTTPS as the load balancer type, and then click Create.

3. After that, give a name for the load balancer and all the listeners our application requires.

4. After specifying the load balancer's availability zones, select Next: Configure Security Settings.

5. Next, open a new tab and navigate to Import Certificate in the console. Here, we must enter the Certificate body, Private Key, and Certificate Chain. We will acquire these specifics in the next step.

1. Log into the Cloudflare account in a new tab, then select the domain.

2. After that, select Create Certificate from Origin Server under SSL/TLS.

3. Next, keep the default option and click Next.

4. We will now be able to access the Origin and Private Key. These details should be copied and pasted into the Import a new certificate window.

7. Then, open the origin_ca_rsa_root.pem file that you downloaded earlier using a text editor.

8. Then, click Next after copying the contents of the file and pasting them into the AWS Certificate Manager window. Additionally, our AWS Support Technicians would like to remind you to include a tag name for the certificate.

9. To finish configuring Cloudflare AWS Load Balancer, return to the window from Step 4 and reload the available certificates. Here, we will select the Cloudflare imported certificate and then Next: Configure Security Groups.

10. Next, we should choose our default Security Group.

11. Then, click Next to proceed to the Configure Routing section.

12. Here, in addition to adding the new AWS load balancer, we will also create a new target and handle the EC2 instance.

13. Click Review and Create to finish.

Part 2:

After the aforementioned procedure, we must copy it to the DNS section of the AWS Load Balancer. This data must be entered as a CName record in the Cloudflare account. The Cloudflare AWS Load Balancer configuration is now complete.
