/**
* Elastic Load Balancing
*
* A load balancer distributes incoming traffic across your EC2 instances. This enables you to increase the availability
* of your application. The load balancer also monitors the health of its registered instances and ensures that it
* routes traffic only to healthy instances. You configure your load balancer to accept incoming traffic by specifying
* one or more listeners, which are configured with a protocol and port number for connections from clients to the load
* balancer and a protocol and port number for connections from the load balancer to the instances.
*
*
* Elastic Load Balancing supports two types of load balancers: Classic load balancers and Application load balancers
* (new). A Classic load balancer makes routing and load balancing decisions either at the transport layer (TCP/SSL) or
* the application layer (HTTP/HTTPS), and supports either EC2-Classic or a VPC. An Application load balancer makes
* routing and load balancing decisions at the application layer (HTTP/HTTPS), supports path-based routing, and can
* route requests to one or more ports on each EC2 instance or container instance in your virtual private cloud (VPC).
* For more information, see the .
*
*
* This reference covers the 2012-06-01 API, which supports Classic load balancers. The 2015-12-01 API supports
* Application load balancers.
*
*
* To get started, create a load balancer with one or more listeners using CreateLoadBalancer. Register your
* instances with the load balancer using RegisterInstancesWithLoadBalancer.
*
*
* All Elastic Load Balancing operations are idempotent, which means that they complete at most one time. If you
* repeat an operation, it succeeds with a 200 OK response code.
