Answer: SSL Proxy Load Balancing
The question requires a load balancer that terminates TLS on port 587. SSL Proxy Load Balancing is specifically designed for terminating SSL/TLS connections at the load balancer layer and supports non-standard ports like 587. While HTTP(S) Load Balancing also terminates TLS, it's optimized for HTTP/HTTPS traffic on standard ports (80/443) and may not be suitable for non-HTTP traffic on port 587. Network Load Balancing operates at layer 4 and does not terminate TLS, while TCP Proxy Load Balancing terminates TCP connections but not TLS specifically. The community discussion strongly supports option D with 100% consensus, noting that SSL Proxy Load Balancing is designed for SSL/TLS termination and supports the required port 587.
