Provision an Application Load Balancer

with Amazon Elastic Load Balancing · IT Infrastructure Management

Create an ALB, a target group, an HTTP listener, and register targets.

  1. Create an internet-facing Application Load Balancer in the supplied subnet and security group.
  2. Create an HTTP target group in the same VPC with an HTTP health check on the root path.
  3. Attach an HTTP listener whose default action forwards traffic to the new target group.
  4. Register the initial target with the target group so the load balancer can begin routing traffic to it.
What you'll need to have ready
  • loadBalancerName: The unique name for the load balancer (max 32 characters).
  • subnetId: The ID of a subnet to place the load balancer in.
  • securityGroupId: The ID of a security group for the load balancer.
  • targetGroupName: The unique name for the target group.
  • vpcId: The ID of the VPC for the target group and targets.
  • listenerPort: The port the listener accepts client connections on.
  • targetPort: The port the targets receive traffic on.
  • targetId: The ID of the first target (instance ID, IP, or Lambda ARN).
