/**
* Elastic Load Balancing
*
* A load balancer distributes incoming traffic across targets, such as your EC2 instances. This enables you to increase
* the availability of your application. The load balancer also monitors the health of its registered targets and
* ensures that it routes traffic only to healthy targets. 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. You configure a target group with a protocol and port number for connections from the
* load balancer to the targets, and with health check settings to be used when checking the health status of the
* targets.
*
*
* Elastic Load Balancing supports the following types of load balancers: Application Load Balancers, Network Load
* Balancers, and Classic Load Balancers.
*
*
* An Application Load Balancer makes routing and load balancing decisions at the application layer (HTTP/HTTPS). A
* Network Load Balancer makes routing and load balancing decisions at the transport layer (TCP). Both Application Load
* Balancers and Network Load Balancers can route requests to one or more ports on each EC2 instance or container
* instance in your virtual private cloud (VPC).
*
*
* 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. For more information, see the Elastic Load Balancing User Guide.
*
*
* This reference covers the 2015-12-01 API, which supports Application Load Balancers and Network Load Balancers. The
* 2012-06-01 API supports Classic Load Balancers.
*
*
* To get started, complete the following tasks:
*
*
* -
*
* Create a load balancer using CreateLoadBalancer.
*
*
* -
*
* Create a target group using CreateTargetGroup.
*
*
* -
*
* Register targets for the target group using RegisterTargets.
*
*
* -
*
* Create one or more listeners for your load balancer using CreateListener.
*
*
*
*
* To delete a load balancer and its related resources, complete the following tasks:
*
*
* -
*
* Delete the load balancer using DeleteLoadBalancer.
*
*
* -
*
* Delete the target group using DeleteTargetGroup.
*
*
*
*
* All Elastic Load Balancing operations are idempotent, which means that they complete at most one time. If you repeat
* an operation, it succeeds.
