Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

A load balancer can distribute 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 three types of load balancers: Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers, and Classic Load Balancers. You can select a load balancer based on your application needs. For more information, see the Elastic Load Balancing User Guide.

This reference covers the 2012-06-01 API, which supports Classic Load Balancers. The 2015-12-01 API supports Application Load Balancers and Network 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.

Sending a Request Using ELB

var elb = new AWS.ELB();
elb.addTags(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the ELB object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var elb = new AWS.ELB({apiVersion: '2012-06-01'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the elb service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  elb: '2012-06-01',
  // other service API versions
};

var elb = new AWS.ELB();

Version:

  • 2012-06-01

Waiter Resource States

This service supports a list of resource states that can be polled using the waitFor() method. The resource states are:

instanceDeregistered, anyInstanceInService, instanceInService

createAppCookieStickinessPolicy(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Generates a stickiness policy with sticky session lifetimes that follow that of an application-generated cookie. This policy can be associated only with HTTP/HTTPS listeners.

This policy is similar to the policy created by CreateLBCookieStickinessPolicy, except that the lifetime of the special Elastic Load Balancing cookie, AWSELB, follows the lifetime of the application-generated cookie specified in the policy configuration. The load balancer only inserts a new stickiness cookie when the application response includes a new application cookie.

If the application cookie is explicitly removed or expires, the session stops being sticky until a new application cookie is issued.

For more information, see Application-Controlled Session Stickiness in the Classic Load Balancers Guide.

Service Reference:

Examples:

To generate a stickiness policy for your load balancer


/* This example generates a stickiness policy that follows the sticky session lifetimes of the application-generated cookie. */

 var params = {
  CookieName: "my-app-cookie", 
  LoadBalancerName: "my-load-balancer", 
  PolicyName: "my-app-cookie-policy"
 };
 elb.createAppCookieStickinessPolicy(params, function(err, data) {
   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
   else     console.log(data);           // successful response
   /*
   data = {
   }
   */
 });

Calling the createAppCookieStickinessPolicy operation

var params = {
  CookieName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  LoadBalancerName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  PolicyName: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
elb.createAppCookieStickinessPolicy(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • LoadBalancerName — (String)

      The name of the load balancer.

    • PolicyName — (String)

      The name of the policy being created. Policy names must consist of alphanumeric characters and dashes (-). This name must be unique within the set of policies for this load balancer.

    • CookieName — (String)

      The name of the application cookie used for stickiness.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response) —

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error) —

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object) —

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request) —

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createLBCookieStickinessPolicy(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Generates a stickiness policy with sticky session lifetimes controlled by the lifetime of the browser (user-agent) or a specified expiration period. This policy can be associated only with HTTP/HTTPS listeners.

When a load balancer implements this policy, the load balancer uses a special cookie to track the instance for each request. When the load balancer receives a request, it first checks to see if this cookie is present in the request. If so, the load balancer sends the request to the application server specified in the cookie. If not, the load balancer sends the request to a server that is chosen based on the existing load-balancing algorithm.

A cookie is inserted into the response for binding subsequent requests from the same user to that server. The validity of the cookie is based on the cookie expiration time, which is specified in the policy configuration.

For more information, see Duration-Based Session Stickiness in the Classic Load Balancers Guide.

Examples:

To generate a duration-based stickiness policy for your load balancer


/* This example generates a stickiness policy with sticky session lifetimes controlled by the specified expiration period. */

 var params = {
  CookieExpirationPeriod: 60, 
  LoadBalancerName: "my-load-balancer", 
  PolicyName: "my-duration-cookie-policy"
 };
 elb.createLBCookieStickinessPolicy(params, function(err, data) {
   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
   else     console.log(data);           // successful response
   /*
   data = {
   }
   */
 });

Calling the createLBCookieStickinessPolicy operation

var params = {
  LoadBalancerName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  PolicyName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  CookieExpirationPeriod: 'NUMBER_VALUE'
};
elb.createLBCookieStickinessPolicy(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • LoadBalancerName — (String)

      The name of the load balancer.

    • PolicyName — (String)

      The name of the policy being created. Policy names must consist of alphanumeric characters and dashes (-). This name must be unique within the set of policies for this load balancer.

    • CookieExpirationPeriod — (Integer)

      The time period, in seconds, after which the cookie should be considered stale. If you do not specify this parameter, the default value is 0, which indicates that the sticky session should last for the duration of the browser session.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response) —

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error) —

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object) —

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request) —

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createLoadBalancer(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a Classic Load Balancer.

You can add listeners, security groups, subnets, and tags when you create your load balancer, or you can add them later using CreateLoadBalancerListeners, ApplySecurityGroupsToLoadBalancer, AttachLoadBalancerToSubnets, and AddTags.

To describe your current load balancers, see DescribeLoadBalancers. When you are finished with a load balancer, you can delete it using DeleteLoadBalancer.

You can create up to 20 load balancers per region per account. You can request an increase for the number of load balancers for your account. For more information, see Limits for Your Classic Load Balancer in the Classic Load Balancers Guide.

registerInstancesWithLoadBalancer(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Adds the specified instances to the specified load balancer.

The instance must be a running instance in the same network as the load balancer (EC2-Classic or the same VPC). If you have EC2-Classic instances and a load balancer in a VPC with ClassicLink enabled, you can link the EC2-Classic instances to that VPC and then register the linked EC2-Classic instances with the load balancer in the VPC.

Note that RegisterInstanceWithLoadBalancer completes when the request has been registered. Instance registration takes a little time to complete. To check the state of the registered instances, use DescribeLoadBalancers or DescribeInstanceHealth.

After the instance is registered, it starts receiving traffic and requests from the load balancer. Any instance that is not in one of the Availability Zones registered for the load balancer is moved to the OutOfService state. If an Availability Zone is added to the load balancer later, any instances registered with the load balancer move to the InService state.

To deregister instances from a load balancer, use DeregisterInstancesFromLoadBalancer.

For more information, see Register or De-Register EC2 Instances in the Classic Load Balancers Guide.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request) —

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

See Also:

elb.waitFor('anyInstanceInService', params = {}, [callback]) ⇒ AWS.Request

Waits for the anyInstanceInService state by periodically calling the underlying ELB.describeInstanceHealth() operation every 15 seconds (at most 40 times).

Examples:

Waiting for the anyInstanceInService state

var params = {
  LoadBalancerName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
};
elb.waitFor('anyInstanceInService', params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) —
    • LoadBalancerName — (String)

      The name of the load balancer.

    • Instances — (Array<map>)

      The IDs of the instances.

      • InstanceId — (String)

        The instance ID.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response) —

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error) —

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object) —

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • InstanceStates — (Array<map>)

        Information about the health of the instances.

        • InstanceId — (String)

          The ID of the instance.

        • State — (String)

          The current state of the instance.

          Valid values: InService | OutOfService | Unknown

        • ReasonCode — (String)

          Information about the cause of OutOfService instances. Specifically, whether the cause is Elastic Load Balancing or the instance.

          Valid values: ELB | Instance | N/A

        • Description — (String)

          A description of the instance state. This string can contain one or more of the following messages.

          • N/A

          • A transient error occurred. Please try again later.

          • Instance has failed at least the UnhealthyThreshold number of health checks consecutively.

          • Instance has not passed the configured HealthyThreshold number of health checks consecutively.

          • Instance registration is still in progress.

          • Instance is in the EC2 Availability Zone for which LoadBalancer is not configured to route traffic to.

          • Instance is not currently registered with the LoadBalancer.

          • Instance deregistration currently in progress.

          • Disable Availability Zone is currently in progress.

          • Instance is in pending state.
