One thing the article mentions is terminating SSL on your ELB. If you want more control over your SSL setup AND want to get remote IP information (e.g. X-Forwarded-For) ELB now supports PROXY protocol. I wrote a little introduction on how to set it up[0]. They haven't promoted it very much, but it is quite useful.

Great post, I had no idea you could do this with ELB. I've added your link to the additional reading list in my post, thanks for sharing!
