AWS Global Accelerator

{'Accelerator': {'DnsName': 'string'}}

Create an accelerator. An accelerator includes one or more listeners that process inbound connections and direct traffic to one or more endpoint groups, each of which includes endpoints, such as Network Load Balancers. To see an AWS CLI example of creating an accelerator, scroll down to Example .

    IpAddressType='IPV4',
    Enabled=True|False,
    IdempotencyToken='string'
)

type Name

string

param Name

[REQUIRED]

The name of an accelerator. The name can have a maximum of 32 characters, must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens (-), and must not begin or end with a hyphen.

type IpAddressType

string

param IpAddressType

The value for the address type must be IPv4.
