The first step is to allocate an Elastic IP address, which becomes the fixed IP address for your AWS NLB. Using an Elastic IP address is optional, but it is strongly recommended that you do so. With a dynamic IP address, the AWS NLB might not remain reachable if you reconfigure or restart it.

You can automate set up of the six instances described in these instructions. Automation is an alternative to creating and configuring each instance one at a time. To automate the set up, use the Packer and Terraform scripts from our [GitHub repository](https://github.com./nginxinc/NGINX-Demos/tree/master/aws-nlb-ha-asg).
