aws_elb

Provides an Elastic Load Balancer resource.

Example Usage

# Create a new load balancer
resource "aws_elb" "bar" {
  name = "foobar-terraform-elb"
  availability_zones = ["us-west-2a", "us-west-2b", "us-west-2c"]

  listener {
    instance_port = 8000
    instance_protocol = "http"
    lb_port = 80
    lb_protocol = "http"
  }

  listener {
    instance_port = 8000
    instance_protocol = "http"
    lb_port = 443
    lb_protocol = "https"
    ssl_certificate_id = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:server-certificate/certName"
  }

  health_check {
    healthy_threshold = 2
    unhealthy_threshold = 2
    timeout = 3
    target = "HTTP:8000/"
    interval = 30
  }

  instances = ["${aws_instance.foo.id}"]
  cross_zone_load_balancing = true
  idle_timeout = 400
  connection_draining = true
  connection_draining_timeout = 400
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• name - (Required) The name of the ELB
• availability_zones - (Required for an EC2-classic ELB) The AZ's to serve traffic in.
• security_groups - (Optional) A list of security group IDs to assign to the ELB.
• subnets - (Required for a VPC ELB) A list of subnet IDs to attach to the ELB.
• instances - (Optional) A list of instance ids to place in the ELB pool.
• internal - (Optional) If true, ELB will be an internal ELB.
• listener - (Required) A list of listener blocks. Listeners documented below.
• health_check - (Optional) A health_check block. Health Check documented below.
• cross_zone_load_balancing - (Optional) Enable cross-zone load balancing.
• idle_timeout - (Optional) The time in seconds that the connection is allowed to be idle. Default: 60.
• connection_draining - (Optional) Boolean to enable connection draining.
• connection_draining_timeout - (Optional) The time in seconds to allow for connections to drain.

Exactly one of availability_zones or subnets must be specified: this determines if the ELB exists in a VPC or in EC2-classic.

Listeners support the following:

• instance_port - (Required) The port on the instance to route to
• instance_protocol - (Required) The the protocol to use to the instance.
• lb_port - (Required) The port to listen on for the load balancer
• lb_protocol - (Required) The protocol to listen on.
• ssl_certificate_id - (Optional) The id of an SSL certificate you have uploaded to AWS IAM.

Health Check supports the following:

• healthy_threshold - (Required) The number of checks before the instance is declared healthy.
• unhealthy_threshold - (Required) The number of checks before the instance is declared unhealthy.
• target - (Required) The target of the check.
• interval - (Required) The interval between checks.
• timeout - (Required) The length of time before the check times out.

Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported:

• id - The name of the ELB
• name - The name of the ELB
• dns_name - The DNS name of the ELB
• instances - The list of instances in the ELB
• source_security_group - The name of the security group that you can use as part of your inbound rules for your load balancer's back-end application instances.
• zone_id - The canonical hosted zone ID of the ELB (to be used in a Route 53 Alias record)
