Does traditional HA (A/P) support exist when deploying the firewall with Amazon Elastic Load Balancing (ELB)?

In the context of deploying a firewall with Amazon Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), traditional High Availability (HA), specifically Active/Passive (A/P) configurations, do not align with ELB's operational model. ELB is designed to distribute incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, and inherently operates in an Active/Active manner. This allows for more efficient use of resources and provides better fault tolerance and responsiveness.

In an Active/Passive HA setup, one instance is actively handling traffic, while the other remains on standby, only taking over during a failure of the primary instance. This setup is not suitable within the framework of ELB, as ELB promotes the use of multiple active instances to handle the traffic load simultaneously. Hence, deploying traditional A/P HA with ELB does not work as intended, making the statement that traditional HA support exists in this context false.

Other options related to the presence of A/P support in specific regions or configurations do not apply here either, as the fundamental design of ELB does not accommodate such traditional HA models.
