If you’re planning to be hit with a lot of traffic suddenly, it can make sense to load test them so they scale up in advance. You can also [contact Amazon](http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1636185810492479) and have them “pre-warm” the load balancer. - **Client IPs:** In general, if servers want to know true client IP addresses, load balancers must forward this information somehow. ELBs add the standard [X-Forwarded-For](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For) header. When using an ELB as an HTTP load balancer, it’s possible to get the client’s IP address from this. -- **Classic and new Application Load Balancer**: +- 🐥**Classic and new Application Load Balancer**: - The traditional HTTP/1 ELB features are now called the [Classic Load Balancer](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/classicloadbalancer/). The revised ELB for use with modern web applications is called the [**Application Load Balancer**](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/applicationloadbalancer/). - **Websockets and HTTP/2** are [now supported](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-application-load-balancer/). This Application Load Balancer feature is new as of August 2016, so may not be mature yet. - Prior to the Application Load Balancer, you were advised to use TCP instead of HTTP as the protocol to make it work (as described [here](http://www.quora.com/When-will-Amazon-ELB-offer-SPDY-support)) and use [the obscure but useful Proxy Protocol](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/enable-proxy-protocol.html) ([more on this](https://chrislea.com/2014/03/20/using-proxy-protocol-nginx/)) to pass client IPs over a TCP load balancer.
