Say I want to allow outbound http/https to 10 different IPs. I can't do that in 1 rule like a traditional firewall.

Just in case those IPs are within your AWS account: you can apply a single security group to those machines and then use that security group as the destination in the outbound rule.

If they're outside your account then, you're right, that's a shortcoming in AWS (Azure and GCP both allow multiple destinations in a single rule).

Yes coming from outside aws, you're fucked
Dumb question: if the IPs are coming from Route53 for web addresses, why don't you just point them as aliases to the same load balancer? Done and done, right?
It's about 2 seconds work in CloudFormation though.
