eulb-create-lb

Create a Load Balancer. After the load balancer is created, instances must be registered with it separately.

Syntax

eulb-create-lb --availability-zones ZONE1,ZONE2,... 
			   --listener "lb-port=PORT, protocol=PROTOCOL
                          instance-port=PORT, instance-protocol=PROTOCOL, 
                          cert-id=ARN"
               ELB

Options

Option	Description	Required
`--availability-zones ZONE1,ZONE2,...`	Availability zones the load balancer should run in	Yes
`--listener "lb-port=PORT, protocol={HTTP,HTTPS,SSL,TCP}, instance-port=PORT, instance-protocol={HTTP,HTTPS,SSL,TCP}, cert-id=ARN"`	Port and protocol settings for the load balancer. This option may be used multiple times. `lb-port` and `protocol` specify the external port number and protocol, `instance-port` and `instance-protocol` specify the port and protocol to use for routing traffic to backend instances, and `cert-id` specifies the ARN of the server certificate to use for encrypted connections.
