### Intermittent 502 errors when using an AWS Network Load Balancer and GitLab Pages is running on multiple application servers
Connections will time out when using a Network Load Balancer with client IP preservation enabled and [the request is looped back to the source server](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/network/load-balancer-troubleshooting.html#loopback-timeout).
This can happen to GitLab instances with multiple servers
running both the core GitLab application and GitLab Pages.
AWS [recommends using an IP target type](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/target-connection-fails-load-balancer/)
to resolve this issue.
### 500 error with `securecookie: failed to generate random iv` and `Failed to save the session`
This problem most likely results from an [out-dated operating system](../package_information/supported_os.md#os-versions-that-are-no-longer-supported).
