Package elasticloadbalancingv2 provides the API client, operations, and
parameter types for Elastic Load Balancing.
Elastic Load Balancing A load balancer distributes incoming traffic across
targets, such as your EC2 instances. This enables you to increase the
availability of your application. The load balancer also monitors the health of
its registered targets and ensures that it routes traffic only to healthy
targets. You configure your load balancer to accept incoming traffic by
specifying one or more listeners, which are configured with a protocol and port
number for connections from clients to the load balancer. You configure a target
group with a protocol and port number for connections from the load balancer to
the targets, and with health check settings to be used when checking the health
status of the targets. Elastic Load Balancing supports the following types of
load balancers: Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers, Gateway Load
Balancers, and Classic Load Balancers. This reference covers the following load
balancer types:

. All Elastic Load Balancing operations are idempotent, which means that they
complete at most one time. If you repeat an operation, it succeeds.
