2021/10/11 - Elastic Load Balancing - 3 updated api methods

Changes  Enable support for ALB IPv6 Target Groups (IP Address Type)

CreateTargetGroup (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request, response)
Request 
{'IpAddressType': 'ipv4 | ipv6'}
Response 
{'TargetGroups': {'IpAddressType': 'ipv4 | ipv6'}}

Creates a target group.

For more information, see the following:

This operation is idempotent, which means that it completes at most one time. If you attempt to create multiple target groups with the same settings, each call succeeds.

type Name

string

param Name

[REQUIRED]

The name of the target group.

This name must be unique per region per account, can have a maximum of 32 characters, must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens, and must not begin or end with a hyphen.

type Protocol

string

param Protocol

The protocol to use for routing traffic to the targets. For Application Load Balancers, the supported protocols are HTTP and HTTPS. For Network Load Balancers, the supported protocols are TCP, TLS, UDP, or TCP_UDP. For Gateway Load Balancers, the supported protocol is GENEVE. A TCP_UDP listener must be associated with a TCP_UDP target group. If the target is a Lambda function, this parameter does not apply.

type ProtocolVersion

string

param ProtocolVersion

[HTTP/HTTPS protocol] The protocol version. Specify GRPC to send requests to targets using gRPC. Specify HTTP2 to send requests to targets using HTTP/2. The default is HTTP1 , which sends requests to targets using HTTP/1.1.

type Port

integer

param Port

The port on which the targets receive traffic. This port is used unless you specify a port override when registering the target. If the target is a Lambda function, this parameter does not apply. If the protocol is GENEVE, the supported port is 6081.

type VpcId

string

param VpcId

The identifier of the virtual private cloud (VPC). If the target is a Lambda function, this parameter does not apply. Otherwise, this parameter is required.

type HealthCheckProtocol

string

param HealthCheckProtocol

The protocol the load balancer uses when performing health checks on targets. For Application Load Balancers, the default is HTTP. For Network Load Balancers and Gateway Load Balancers, the default is TCP. The TCP protocol is not supported for health checks if the protocol of the target group is HTTP or HTTPS. The GENEVE, TLS, UDP, and TCP_UDP protocols are not supported for health checks.

type HealthCheckPort

string

param HealthCheckPort

The port the load balancer uses when performing health checks on targets. If the protocol is HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, TLS, UDP, or TCP_UDP, the default is traffic-port , which is the port on which each target receives traffic from the load balancer. If the protocol is GENEVE, the default is port 80.

type HealthCheckEnabled

boolean

param HealthCheckEnabled

Indicates whether health checks are enabled. If the target type is lambda , health checks are disabled by default but can be enabled. If the target type is instance , ip , or alb , health checks are always enabled and cannot be disabled.

type HealthCheckPath

string

param HealthCheckPath

[HTTP/HTTPS health checks] The destination for health checks on the targets.

[HTTP1 or HTTP2 protocol version] The ping path. The default is /.

[GRPC protocol version] The path of a custom health check method with the format /package.service/method. The default is /Amazon Web Services.ALB/healthcheck.

type HealthCheckIntervalSeconds

integer

param HealthCheckIntervalSeconds

The approximate amount of time, in seconds, between health checks of an individual target. If the target group protocol is TCP, TLS, UDP, or TCP_UDP, the supported values are 10 and 30 seconds. If the target group protocol is HTTP or HTTPS, the default is 30 seconds. If the target group protocol is GENEVE, the default is 10 seconds. If the target type is lambda , the default is 35 seconds.

type HealthCheckTimeoutSeconds

integer

param HealthCheckTimeoutSeconds

The amount of time, in seconds, during which no response from a target means a failed health check. For target groups with a protocol of HTTP, HTTPS, or GENEVE, the default is 5 seconds. For target groups with a protocol of TCP or TLS, this value must be 6 seconds for HTTP health checks and 10 seconds for TCP and HTTPS health checks. If the target type is lambda , the default is 30 seconds.

type HealthyThresholdCount

integer

param HealthyThresholdCount

The number of consecutive health checks successes required before considering an unhealthy target healthy. For target groups with a protocol of HTTP or HTTPS, the default is 5. For target groups with a protocol of TCP, TLS, or GENEVE, the default is 3. If the target type is lambda , the default is 5.

type UnhealthyThresholdCount

integer

param UnhealthyThresholdCount

The number of consecutive health check failures required before considering a target unhealthy. If the target group protocol is HTTP or HTTPS, the default is 2. If the target group protocol is TCP or TLS, this value must be the same as the healthy threshold count. If the target group protocol is GENEVE, the default is 3. If the target type is lambda , the default is 2.

type Matcher

param Matcher

[HTTP/HTTPS health checks] The HTTP or gRPC codes to use when checking for a successful response from a target.

  • HttpCode (string) --

    For Network Load Balancers and Gateway Load Balancers, this must be "200–399".

    Note that when using shorthand syntax, some values such as commas need to be escaped.

  • GrpcCode (string) --

    You can specify values between 0 and 99. You can specify multiple values (for example, "0,1") or a range of values (for example, "0-5"). The default value is 12.

type TargetType

string

param TargetType

The type of target that you must specify when registering targets with this target group. You can't specify targets for a target group using more than one target type.

  • instance - Register targets by instance ID. This is the default value.

  • ip - Register targets by IP address. You can specify IP addresses from the subnets of the virtual private cloud (VPC) for the target group, the RFC 1918 range (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16), and the RFC 6598 range (100.64.0.0/10). You can't specify publicly routable IP addresses.

  • lambda - Register a single Lambda function as a target.

  • alb - Register a single Application Load Balancer as a target.

type Tags

list

param Tags

The tags to assign to the target group.

  • (dict) --

    Information about a tag.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The key of the tag.

    • Value (string) --

      The value of the tag.

type IpAddressType

            For Application Load Balancers, you can specify values between 200 and 499, and the default value is 200. You can specify multiple values (for example, "200,202") or a range of values (for example, "200-299").

            For Network Load Balancers and Gateway Load Balancers, this must be "200–399".

The possible values are instance (register targets by instance ID), ip (register targets by IP address), lambda (register a single Lambda function as a target), or alb (register a single Application Load Balancer as a target).

        • ProtocolVersion (string) --

          [HTTP/HTTPS protocol] The protocol version. The possible values are GRPC , HTTP1 , and HTTP2 .

        • IpAddressType (string) --
