Since July 2013 Elastic Beanstalk supports "single-instance" environments that have a single container instance running without a load balancer. Existing environments that are set up using "load balancing environment" can be switched to "single instance" and vice versa.

Prior to this it was not possible to remove the load balancer and have Elastic Beanstalk still work correctly. The load balancer is an integral part of the way that Elastic Beanstalk works in "load-balancing environment" configurations.
