While we don't have official documentation regarding this kind of deployment, here is a great guide that one of our customers put together.
This will walk you through the process of configuring Let's Encrypt with your NodeBalancer, as well as automating the updating of your certificates.
While you use Let's Encrypt to generate SSL certificate, you will get two file fullchain.pem and privkey.pem
ex.
/etc/letsencrypt/live/{your_domain}/fullchain.pem
/etc/letsencrypt/live/{your_domain}/privkey.pem
Use fullchain.pem to fill SSL Certificate and use privkey.pem to fill Private Key in the configuration of the NodeBalancer
I have written a note in Chinese here:
