## SYNOPSIS

eulb-create-lb (**-s** SUBNET1,SUBNET2,... \| **-z** ZONE1,ZONE2,...) **-l**

- "lb-port=PORT, protocol={HTTP,HTTPS,SSL,TCP},

  instance-port=PORT, instance-protocol={HTTP,HTTPS,SSL,TCP}, cert-id=ARN" \[-i internal\] \[-g GROUP1,GROUP2,...\] \[-t KEY=VALUE\] \[--show-empty-fields\] \[-U URL\] \[--region USER@REGION\] \[-I KEY\_ID\] \[-S KEY\] \[--security-token TOKEN\] \[--debug\] \[--debugger\] \[--version\] \[-h\] ELB

## DESCRIPTION

Create a load balancer

## DESCRIPTION

After the load balancer is created, instances must be registered with it separately.

### positional arguments:

- ELB

  name of the new load balancer (required)

### optional arguments:

- **-s** SUBNET1,SUBNET2,..., **--subnets** SUBNET1,SUBNET2,...

  \[VPC only\] subnets the load balancer should run in (required)

- **-z** ZONE1,ZONE2,..., **--availability-zones** ZONE1,ZONE2,...

  \[Non-VPC only\] availability zones the load balancer should run in (required)

- **-l** "lb-port=PORT, protocol={HTTP,HTTPS,SSL,TCP}, instance-port=PORT, instance-protocol={HTTP,HTTPS,SSL,TCP}, cert-id=ARN", **--listener** "lb-port=PORT, protocol={HTTP,HTTPS,SSL,TCP}, instance-port=PORT, instance-protocol={HTTP,HTTPS,SSL,TCP}, cert-id=ARN"

  port/protocol settings for the load balancer, where lb-port is the external port number, protocol is the external protocol, instance-port is the back end server port number, instance-protocol is the protocol to use for routing traffic to back end instances, and cert-id is the ARN of the server certificate to use for encrypted connections. lb-port, protocol, and instance-port are required. This option may be used multiple times. (at least 1 required)

- **-i** internal, **--scheme** internal

  \[VPC only\] "internal" to make the new load balancer private to a VPC

- **-g** GROUP1,GROUP2,..., **--security-groups** GROUP1,GROUP2,...

  \[VPC only\] IDs of the security groups to assign to the new load balancer

- **-t** KEY=VALUE, **--tag** KEY=VALUE

  key and value of a tag to add to the new load balancer

- **--show-empty-fields**

  show empty values as "(nil)"

- **-U** URL, **--url** URL

  load balancing service endpoint URL

- **--region** USER@REGION

  region and/or user names to search when looking up config file data

**-I** KEY\_ID, **--access-key-id** KEY\_ID

**-S** KEY, **--secret-key** KEY

**--security-token** TOKEN

- **--debug**

  show debugging output

- **--debugger**

  launch interactive debugger on error

- **--version**

  show the program's version and exit

- **-h**, **--help**
