A load balancer can distribute incoming traffic across your EC2 instances.\nThis enables you to increase the availability of your application. The load balancer\nalso monitors the health of its registered instances and ensures that it routes traffic\nonly to healthy instances. You configure your load balancer to accept incoming traffic\nby specifying one or more listeners, which are configured with a protocol and port\nnumber for connections from clients to the load balancer and a protocol and port number\nfor connections from the load balancer to the instances.
\nElastic Load Balancing supports three types of load balancers: Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers,\nand Classic Load Balancers. You can select a load balancer based on your application needs. For more\ninformation, see the Elastic Load Balancing User Guide.
\nThis reference covers the 2012-06-01 API, which supports Classic Load Balancers.\nThe 2015-12-01 API supports Application Load Balancers and Network Load Balancers.
\n\nTo get started, create a load balancer with one or more listeners using CreateLoadBalancer.\nRegister your instances with the load balancer using RegisterInstancesWithLoadBalancer.
\n\nAll Elastic Load Balancing operations are idempotent, which means\nthat they complete at most one time. If you repeat an operation, it succeeds with a 200 OK\nresponse code.
\n\n## Installing\n\nTo install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:\n\n- `npm install @aws-sdk/client-elastic-load-balancing`\n- `yarn add @aws-sdk/client-elastic-load-balancing`\n- `pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-elastic-load-balancing`\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Import\n\nThe AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.\nTo send a request, you only need to import the `ElasticLoadBalancingClient` and\nthe commands you need, for example `DescribeAccountLimitsCommand`:\n\n```js\n// ES5 example\nconst { ElasticLoadBalancingClient, DescribeAccountLimitsCommand } = require(\"@aws-sdk/client-elastic-load-balancing\");\n```\n\n```ts\n// ES6+ example\nimport { ElasticLoadBalancingClient, DescribeAccountLimitsCommand } from \"@aws-sdk/client-elastic-load-balancing\";\n```\n\n### Usage\n\nTo send a request:\n\n- Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).\n - See [docs/CLIENTS](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/CLIENTS.md) for configuration details.\n - See [@aws-sdk/config](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/packages/config/README.md) for additional options.\n- Instantiate a command with input parameters.\n- Call the `send` operation on the client, providing the command object as input.\n\n```js\nconst client = new ElasticLoadBalancingClient({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\nconst params = { /** input parameters */ };\nconst command = new DescribeAccountLimitsCommand(params);\n```\n\n#### Async/await\n\nWe recommend using the [await](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await)\noperator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:\n\n```js\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n} finally {\n // finally.\n}\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nYou can also use [Promise chaining](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Using_promises#chaining).\n\n```js\nclient\n .send(command)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n })\n .finally(() => {\n // finally.\n });\n```\n\n#### Aggregated client\n\nThe aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the \"Client\" suffix.\n\n`ElasticLoadBalancing` extends `ElasticLoadBalancingClient` and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods.\nThis style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.\n\nIf you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (`ElasticLoadBalancingClient`).\nMore details are in the blog post on\n[modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/modular-packages-in-aws-sdk-for-javascript/).\n\n```ts\nimport { ElasticLoadBalancing } from \"@aws-sdk/client-elastic-load-balancing\";\n\nconst client = new ElasticLoadBalancing({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.describeAccountLimits(params);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n}\n\n// Promises.\nclient\n .describeAccountLimits(params)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n });\n\n// callbacks (not recommended).\nclient.describeAccountLimits(params, (err, data) => {\n // process err and data.\n});\n```\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\nWhen the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information,\nas well as response metadata (e.g. request id).\n\n```js\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;\n console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });\n /**\n * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.\n * You can access them by specifying exception names:\n * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {\n * const value = error.specialKeyInException;\n * }\n */\n}\n```\n\nSee also [docs/ERROR_HANDLING](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/ERROR_HANDLING.md).\n\n## Getting Help\n\nPlease use these community resources for getting help.\nWe use GitHub issues for tracking bugs and feature requests, but have limited bandwidth to address them.\n\n- Visit the [Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v3/developer-guide/welcome.html)\n or [API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/index.html).\n- Check out the blog posts tagged with [`aws-sdk-js`](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/tag/aws-sdk-js/)\n on AWS Developer Blog.\n- Ask a question on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/aws-sdk-js) and tag it with `aws-sdk-js`.\n- Join the AWS JavaScript community on [gitter](https://gitter.im/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3).\n- If it turns out that you may have found a bug, please [open an issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/new/choose).\n\nTo test your universal JavaScript code in Node.js, browser and react-native environments,\nvisit our [code samples repo](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-sdk-js-tests).\n\n## Contributing\n\nThis client code is generated automatically.
