AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) Terraform module

Terraform module which creates ELB resources on AWS.

These types of resources are supported:

• ELB
• ELB Attachment

Root module calls these modules which can also be used separately to create independent resources:

• elb - creates ELB
• elb_attachment - creates ELB attachment

Terraform versions

Terraform 0.12. Pin module version to ~> v2.0. Submit pull-requests to master branch.

Terraform 0.11. Pin module version to ~> v1.0. Submit pull-requests to terraform011 branch.

Usage

module "elb_http" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/elb/aws"
  version = "~> 2.0"

  name = "elb-example"

  subnets         = ["subnet-12345678", "subnet-87654321"]
  security_groups = ["sg-12345678"]
  internal        = false

  listener = [
    {
      instance_port     = "80"
      instance_protocol = "HTTP"
      lb_port           = "80"
      lb_protocol       = "HTTP"
    },
    {
      instance_port     = "8080"
      instance_protocol = "http"
      lb_port           = "8080"
      lb_protocol       = "http"
      ssl_certificate_id = "arn:aws:acm:eu-west-1:235367859451:certificate/6c270328-2cd5-4b2d-8dfd-ae8d0004ad31"
    },
  ]

  health_check = {
    target              = "HTTP:80/"
    interval            = 30
    healthy_threshold   = 2
    unhealthy_threshold = 2
    timeout             = 5
  }

  access_logs = {
    bucket = "my-access-logs-bucket"
  }

  // ELB attachments
  number_of_instances = 2
  instances           = ["i-06ff41a77dfb5349d", "i-4906ff41a77dfb53d"]
  
  tags = {
    Owner       = "user"
    Environment = "dev"
  }
}

Examples

• Complete ELB example

Note about SSL

• Valid SSL certificate has to be specified as ssl_id_certificate argument for secure listener. Use terraform-aws-acm module to create one. See ELB example for details.
