- ALBs do not (yet) support routing based on HTTP “Host” header or HTTP verb.
- Instances in the ALB's target groups have to either have a single, fixed healthcheck port (“EC2 instance”-level healthcheck) or the healthcheck port for a target has to be the same as its application port (“Application instance”-level healthcheck) - you can't configure a per-target healthcheck port that is different than the application port.
- ALBs are VPC-only (they are not available in EC2 Classic)
- In a target group, if there is no healthy target, all requests are routed to all targets. An example: you add a target group containing a single service (with a long init phase maybe) as target to a listener, it does not pass health checks (yet), requests will still reach your (initializing) service.
