aws_lb

Provides a Load Balancer resource.

Example Usage

Application Load Balancer

resource "aws_lb" "test" {
  name               = "test-lb-tf"
  internal           = false
  load_balancer_type = "application"
  security_groups    = ["${aws_security_group.lb_sg.id}"]
  subnets            = ["${aws_subnet.public.*.id}"]

  enable_deletion_protection = true

  access_logs {
    bucket  = "${aws_s3_bucket.lb_logs.bucket}"
    prefix  = "test-lb"
    enabled = true
  }

  tags {
    Environment = "production"
  }
}

Network Load Balancer

resource "aws_lb" "test" {
  name               = "test-lb-tf"
  internal           = false
  load_balancer_type = "network"
  subnets            = ["${aws_subnet.public.*.id}"]

  enable_deletion_protection = true

  tags {
    Environment = "production"
  }
}

Specifying Elastic IPs

resource "aws_lb" "example" {
  name               = "example"
  load_balancer_type = "network"

  subnet_mapping {
    subnet_id    = "${aws_subnet.example1.id}"
    allocation_id = "${aws_eip.example1.id}"
  }

  subnet_mapping {
    subnet_id    = "${aws_subnet.example2.id}"
    allocation_id = "${aws_eip.example2.id}"
  }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Optional) The name of the LB. This name must be unique within your AWS account, can have a maximum of 32 characters, must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens, and must not begin or end with a hyphen. If not specified, Terraform will autogenerate a name beginning with tf-lb.
  • name_prefix - (Optional) Creates a unique name beginning with the specified prefix. Conflicts with name.
  • internal - (Optional) If true, the LB will be internal.
  • load_balancer_type - (Optional) The type of load balancer to create. Possible values are application or network. The default value is application.
  • security_groups - (Optional) A list of security group IDs to assign to the LB. Only valid for Load Balancers of type application.
  • access_logs - (Optional) An Access Logs block. Access Logs documented below. Only valid for Load Balancers of type application.
  • subnets - (Optional) A list of subnet IDs to attach to the LB. Subnets cannot be updated for Load Balancers of type network. Changing this value for load balancers of type network will force a recreation of the resource.
  • subnet_mapping - (Optional) A subnet mapping block as documented below.
  • idle_timeout - (Optional) The time in seconds that the connection is allowed to be idle. Only valid for Load Balancers of type application. Default: 60.
  • enable_deletion_protection - (Optional) If true, deletion of the load balancer will be disabled via the AWS API. This will prevent Terraform from deleting the load balancer. Defaults to false.
  • enable_cross_zone_load_balancing - (Optional) If true, cross-zone load balancing of the load balancer will be enabled. This is a network load balancer feature. Defaults to false.
  • enable_http2 - (Optional) Indicates whether HTTP/2 is enabled in application load balancers. Defaults to true.
  • ip_address_type - (Optional) The type of IP addresses used by the subnets for your load balancer. The possible values are ipv4 and dualstack
  • tags - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource.

Access Logs (access_logs) support the following:

  • bucket - (Required) The S3 bucket name to store the logs in.
  • prefix - (Optional) The S3 bucket prefix. Logs are stored in the root if not configured.
  • enabled - (Optional) Boolean to enable / disable access_logs. Defaults to false, even when bucket is specified.

Subnet Mapping (subnet_mapping) blocks support the following:

  • subnet_id - (Required) The id of the subnet of which to attach to the load balancer. You can specify only one subnet per Availability Zone.
  • allocation_id - (Optional) The allocation ID of the Elastic IP address.

Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported in addition to the arguments listed above:

  • id - The ARN of the load balancer (matches arn).
  • arn - The ARN of the load balancer (matches id).
  • arn_suffix - The ARN suffix for use with CloudWatch Metrics.
  • dns_name - The DNS name of the load balancer.
  • canonical_hosted_zone_id - The canonical hosted zone ID of the load balancer.
  • zone_id - The canonical hosted zone ID of the load balancer (to be used in a Route 53 Alias record).

Timeouts

aws_lb provides the following Timeouts configuration options:

  • create - (Default 10 minutes) Used for Creating LB
  • update - (Default 10 minutes) Used for LB modifications
  • delete - (Default 10 minutes) Used for destroying LB

Import

LBs can be imported using their ARN, e.g.

$ terraform import aws_lb.bar arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:loadbalancer/app/my-load-balancer/50dc6c495c0c9188
