/**
* 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.
