Accelerator

An accelerator is a complex type that includes one or more listeners that process inbound connections and then direct traffic to one or more endpoint groups, each of which includes endpoints, such as load balancers.

AcceleratorArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the accelerator.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 255.

Required: No

CreatedTime

The date and time that the accelerator was created.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

DnsName

The Domain Name System (DNS) name that Global Accelerator creates that points to an accelerator's static IPv4 addresses.

The naming convention for the DNS name for an accelerator is the following: A lowercase letter a, followed by a 16-bit random hex string, followed by .awsglobalaccelerator.com. For example: a1234567890abcdef.awsglobalaccelerator.com.

If you have a dual-stack accelerator, you also have a second DNS name, DualStackDnsName, that points to both the A record and the AAAA record for all four static addresses for the accelerator: two IPv4 addresses and two IPv6 addresses.

For more information about the default DNS name, see Support for DNS addressing in Global Accelerator in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 255.

Required: No

DualStackDnsName

The Domain Name System (DNS) name that Global Accelerator creates that points to a dual-stack accelerator's four static IP addresses: two IPv4 addresses and two IPv6 addresses.

The naming convention for the dual-stack DNS name is the following: A lowercase letter a, followed by a 16-bit random hex string, followed by .dualstack.awsglobalaccelerator.com. For example: a1234567890abcdef.dualstack.awsglobalaccelerator.com.

Note: Global Accelerator also assigns a default DNS name, DnsName, to your accelerator that points just to the static IPv4 addresses.

For more information, see Support for DNS addressing in Global Accelerator in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 255.

Required: No

Enabled

Indicates whether the accelerator is enabled. The value is true or false. The default value is true.

If the value is set to true, the accelerator cannot be deleted. If set to false, accelerator can be deleted.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

Events

A history of changes that you make to an accelerator in Global Accelerator.

Type: Array of AcceleratorEvent objects

Required: No

IpAddressType

The IP address type that an accelerator supports. For a standard accelerator, the value can be IPV4 or DUAL_STACK.

Type: String

Valid Values: IPV4 | DUAL_STACK

Required: No

IpSets

The static IP addresses that Global Accelerator associates with the accelerator.

Type: Array of IpSet objects

Required: No

LastModifiedTime

The date and time that the accelerator was last modified.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

Name

The name of the accelerator. The name must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens (-), and must not begin or end with a hyphen.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 255.
