Edit attributes for your Gateway Load Balancer
After you create a Gateway Load Balancer, you can edit its load balancer attributes.
Load balancer attributes
Deletion protection
To prevent your Gateway Load Balancer from being deleted accidentally, you can enable deletion protection. By default, deletion protection is disabled.

To enable deletion protection using the console
Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/
. -
In the navigation pane, under Load Balancing, choose Load Balancers.
-
Select the Gateway Load Balancer.
-
Choose Actions, Edit attributes.

Cross-zone load balancing
By default, each load balancer node distributes traffic across the registered targets in its Availability Zone only. If you enable cross-zone load balancing, each Gateway Load Balancer node distributes traffic across the registered targets in all enabled Availability Zones. For more information, see Cross-zone load balancing in the Elastic Load Balancing User Guide.
