us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com
For information about the AWS regions supported by Elastic Load Balancing, see Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .
You can create up to 20 load balancers per region per account. You can request an increase for the number of load balancers for your account. For more information, see Elastic Load Balancing Limits in the Elastic Load Balancing Developer Guide .
Elastic Load Balancing supports load balancing your EC2 instances launched in either the EC2-Classic or EC2-VPC platform. For more information, see Elastic Load Balancing in EC2-Classic or Elastic Load Balancing in a VPC in the Elastic Load Balancing Developer Guide .

Generates a stickiness policy with sticky session lifetimes controlled by the lifetime of the browser (user-agent) or a specified expiration period. This policy can be associated only with HTTP/HTTPS listeners.
When a load balancer implements this policy, the load balancer uses a special cookie to track the back-end server instance for each request. When the load balancer receives a request, it first checks to see if this cookie is present in the request. If so, the load balancer sends the request to the application server specified in the cookie. If not, the load balancer sends the request to a server that is chosen based on the existing load-balancing algorithm.
A cookie is inserted into the response for binding subsequent requests from the same user to that server. The validity of the cookie is based on the cookie expiration time, which is specified in the policy configuration.
For more information, see Duration-Based Session Stickiness in the Elastic Load Balancing Developer Guide .

[REQUIRED]
The configuration information for the new health check.
Target (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The instance being checked. The protocol is either TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, or SSL. The range of valid ports is one (1) through 65535.
TCP is the default, specified as a TCP: port pair, for example "TCP:5000". In this case, a health check simply attempts to open a TCP connection to the instance on the specified port. Failure to connect within the configured timeout is considered unhealthy.
SSL is also specified as SSL: port pair, for example, SSL:5000.
For HTTP/HTTPS, you must include a ping path in the string. HTTP is specified as a HTTP:port;/;PathToPing; grouping, for example "HTTP:80/weather/us/wa/seattle". In this case, a HTTP GET request is issued to the instance on the given port and path. Any answer other than "200 OK" within the timeout period is considered unhealthy.
The total length of the HTTP ping target must be 1024 16-bit Unicode characters or less.
Interval (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
The approximate interval, in seconds, between health checks of an individual instance.
Timeout (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
The amount of time, in seconds, during which no response means a failed health check.
This value must be less than the Interval value.
UnhealthyThreshold (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

Deletes the specified load balancer.
If you are attempting to recreate a load balancer, you must reconfigure all settings. The DNS name associated with a deleted load balancer are no longer usable. The name and associated DNS record of the deleted load balancer no longer exist and traffic sent to any of its IP addresses is no longer delivered to back-end instances.
If the load balancer does not exist or has already been deleted, the call to DeleteLoadBalancer still succeeds.

Adds the specified instances to the specified load balancer.
The instance must be a running instance in the same network as the load balancer (EC2-Classic or the same VPC). If you have EC2-Classic instances and a load balancer in a VPC with ClassicLink enabled, you can link the EC2-Classic instances to that VPC and then register the linked EC2-Classic instances with the load balancer in the VPC.
Note that RegisterInstanceWithLoadBalancer completes when the request has been registered. Instance registration happens shortly afterwards. To check the state of the registered instances, use DescribeLoadBalancers or DescribeInstanceHealth.
After the instance is registered, it starts receiving traffic and requests from the load balancer. Any instance that is not in one of the Availability Zones registered for the load balancer is moved to the OutOfService state. If an Availability Zone is added to the load balancer later, any instances registered with the load balancer move to the InService state.
If you stop an instance registered with a load balancer and then start it, the IP addresses associated with the instance changes. Elastic Load Balancing cannot recognize the new IP address, which prevents it from routing traffic to the instances. We recommend that you use the following sequence: stop the instance, deregister the instance, start the instance, and then register the instance. To deregister instances from a load balancer, use DeregisterInstancesFromLoadBalancer.
For more information, see Deregister and Register EC2 Instances in the Elastic Load Balancing Developer Guide .

Generates a stickiness policy with sticky session lifetimes that follow that of an application-generated cookie. This policy can be associated only with HTTP/HTTPS listeners.
This policy is similar to the policy created by CreateLBCookieStickinessPolicy, except that the lifetime of the special Elastic Load Balancing cookie, AWSELB , follows the lifetime of the application-generated cookie specified in the policy configuration. The load balancer only inserts a new stickiness cookie when the application response includes a new application cookie.
If the application cookie is explicitly removed or expires, the session stops being sticky until a new application cookie is issued.
