Elastic Load Balancing load balancer resource

This example shows an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer with a single listener, and no instances.

"MyLoadBalancer" : {
    "Type" : "AWS::ElasticLoadBalancing::LoadBalancer",
    "Properties" : {
        "AvailabilityZones" : [ "us-east-1a" ],
        "Listeners" : [ {
            "LoadBalancerPort" : "80",
            "InstancePort" : "80",
            "Protocol" : "HTTP"
        } ]
    }
}

MyLoadBalancer:
  Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancing::LoadBalancer
  Properties:
    AvailabilityZones:
    - "us-east-1a"
    Listeners:
    - LoadBalancerPort: '80'
      InstancePort: '80'
      Protocol: HTTP

Elastic Load Balancing load balancer resource with health check

This example shows an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer with two Amazon EC2 instances, a single listener and a health check.

"MyLoadBalancer" : {
    "Type" : "AWS::ElasticLoadBalancing::LoadBalancer",
    "Properties" : {
        "AvailabilityZones" : [ "us-east-1a" ],
        "Instances" : [
            { "Ref" : "logical name of AWS::EC2::Instance resource 1" },
            { "Ref" : "logical name of AWS::EC2::Instance resource 2" }
        ],
        "Listeners" : [ {
            "LoadBalancerPort" : "80",
            "InstancePort" : "80",
            "Protocol" : "HTTP"
        } ],

        "HealthCheck" : {
            "Target" : "HTTP:80/",
            "HealthyThreshold" : "3",
            "UnhealthyThreshold" : "5",
            "Interval" : "30",
            "Timeout" : "5"
        }
