Create accelerator - AWS Global Accelerator

Create accelerator

This section explains how to create a standard accelerator on the console. To work with Global Accelerator programmatically, see the AWS Global Accelerator API Reference.

To create a standard accelerator

  1. Open the Global Accelerator console at https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/globalaccelerator/home#GlobalAcceleratorHome:.

  2. Choose Create accelerator.

  3. Provide a name for your accelerator.

  4. For Accelerator type, select Standard.

  5. For IP address type, select IPv4 or DUAL-STACK.

  6. Optionally, if you brought your own IP address ranges to AWS (BYOIP), you can specify a static IP address for your accelerator, one from each address pool. Make this choice for each of the two static IP addresses for your accelerator.

    • For each static IP address, choose the IP address pool to use.

      Note

      You must choose a different IP address pool for each static IP address. This restriction is because Global Accelerator assigns each address range to a different network zone, for high availability.

    • If you chose your own IP address pool, also choose a specific IP address from the pool. If you choose the default Amazon IP address pool, Global Accelerator assigns a specific IP address to your accelerator.

    For more information about the requirements for specifying or updating static IP addresses with BYOIP, see Requirements when you update an accelerator to change the IP address.

  7. Optionally, add one or more tags to help you identify your accelerator resources.

  8. Choose Next to add listeners, endpoint groups, and endpoints.
