At the very top is the WAF. In the public subnet you should have your load balancer(s). Since Load Balancers should be redundant you will place both of them in the public subnet. Below that you will have your scalable instance. Load balancers need IPs and are in subnets which is why this is not the load balancer. In the tier below that, you will need 3 instances in a private subnet. At the very bottom, you should have the database.
