Hi Wildzfor, if you are going to use EIPs, you still use a supported template and the HA iApp. Unless you SNAT all of your traffic to your backend servers, you are going to need a route in AWS so that return traffic from the backend servers routes out of the same BIG-IP device that it came in through. That's where the HA iApp can update it automatically for you. Follow the documentation and let us know how you go.
