Elastic Load Balancing

2017/09/07 - Elastic Load Balancing - 10 updated api methods

CreateListener (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request, response)
Request
{'Protocol': {'TCP'}}
Response
{'Listeners': {'Protocol': {'TCP'}}}

Creates a listener for the specified Application Load Balancer or Network Load Balancer.

You can create up to 10 listeners per load balancer.

To update a listener, use ModifyListener. When you are finished with a listener, you can delete it using DeleteListener. If you are finished with both the listener and the load balancer, you can delete them both using DeleteLoadBalancer.

For more information, see Listeners for Your Application Load Balancers in the Application Load Balancers Guide and Listeners for Your Network Load Balancers in the Network Load Balancers Guide .

Creates an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer.

When you create a load balancer, you can specify security groups, subnets, IP address type, and tags. Otherwise, you could do so later using SetSecurityGroups, SetSubnets, SetIpAddressType, and AddTags.

To create listeners for your load balancer, use CreateListener. To describe your current load balancers, see DescribeLoadBalancers. When you are finished with a load balancer, you can delete it using DeleteLoadBalancer.

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 Limits for Your Application Load Balancer in the Application Load Balancers Guide and Limits for Your Network Load Balancer in the Network Load Balancers Guide .

To register targets with the target group, use RegisterTargets. To update the health check settings for the target group, use ModifyTargetGroup. To monitor the health of targets in the target group, use DescribeTargetHealth.

To route traffic to the targets in a target group, specify the target group in an action using CreateListener or CreateRule.

To delete a target group, use DeleteTargetGroup.

type TargetGroupArn

string

param TargetGroupArn

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the target group.

type HealthCheckProtocol

string

param HealthCheckProtocol

The protocol the load balancer uses when performing health checks on targets. The TCP protocol is supported only if the protocol of the target group is TCP.

type HealthCheckPort

string

param HealthCheckPort

The port the load balancer uses when performing health checks on targets.

type HealthCheckPath

string

param HealthCheckPath

[HTTP/HTTPS health checks] The ping path that is the destination for the health check request.

type HealthCheckIntervalSeconds

integer

param HealthCheckIntervalSeconds

The approximate amount of time, in seconds, between health checks of an individual target. For Application Load Balancers, the range is 5 to 300 seconds. For Network Load Balancers, the supported values are 10 or 30 seconds.

type HealthCheckTimeoutSeconds

integer

param HealthCheckTimeoutSeconds

[HTTP/HTTPS health checks] The amount of time, in seconds, during which no response means a failed health check.

type HealthyThresholdCount

integer

param HealthyThresholdCount

The number of consecutive health checks successes required before considering an unhealthy target healthy.

type UnhealthyThresholdCount

integer

param UnhealthyThresholdCount

The number of consecutive health check failures required before considering the target unhealthy. For Network Load Balancers, this value must be the same as the healthy threshold count.

type Matcher

dict

param Matcher

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

  • HttpCode (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The HTTP codes.

    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, this is 200 to 399.
