**Example 1: To create a target group to route traffic to instances registered by instance ID** The following ``create-target-group`` example creates a target group for an Application Load Balancer where you register targets by instance ID (the target type is ``instance``). This target group uses the HTTP protocol, port 80, and the default health check settings for an HTTP target group. :: aws elbv2 create-target-group \ --name my-targets \ --protocol HTTP \ --port 80 \ --target-type instance \ --vpc-id vpc-3ac0fb5f Output:: { "TargetGroups": [ { "TargetGroupName": "my-targets", "Protocol": "HTTP", "Port": 80, "VpcId": "vpc-3ac0fb5f", "TargetType": "instance", "HealthCheckEnabled": true, "UnhealthyThresholdCount": 2, "HealthyThresholdCount": 5, "HealthCheckPath": "/", "Matcher": { "HttpCode": "200" }, "HealthCheckProtocol": "HTTP", "HealthCheckPort": "traffic-port", "HealthCheckIntervalSeconds": 30, "HealthCheckTimeoutSeconds": 5, "TargetGroupArn": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-targets/73e2d6bc24d8a067" } ] } For more information, see `Create a target group <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/create-target-group.html>`__ in the *User Guide for Application Load Balancers*. **Example 2: To create a target group to route traffic to an IP addresses** The following ``create-target-group`` example creates a target group for a Network Load Balancer where you register targets by IP address (the target type is ``ip``). This target group uses the TCP protocol, port 80, and the default health check settings for a TCP target group. :: aws elbv2 create-target-group \ --name my-ip-targets \ --protocol TCP \ --port 80 \ --target-type ip \ --vpc-id vpc-3ac0fb5f Output:: { "TargetGroups": [ { "TargetGroupName": "my-ip-targets", "Protocol": "TCP", "Port": 80, "VpcId": "vpc-3ac0fb5f", "TargetType": "ip", "HealthCheckEnabled": true, "UnhealthyThresholdCount": 3, "HealthyThresholdCount": 3, "HealthCheckProtocol": "TCP", "HealthCheckPort": "traffic-port", "HealthCheckIntervalSeconds": 30, "HealthCheckTimeoutSeconds": 10, "TargetGroupArn": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-ip-targets/b6bba954d1361c78" } ] } For more information, see `Create a target group for your Network Load Balancer <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/network/create-target-group.html>`__ in the *User Guide for Network Load Balancers*. **Example 3: To create a target group to route traffic to a Lambda function** The following ``create-target-group`` example creates a target group for an Application Load Balancer where the target is a Lambda function (the target type is ``lambda``). Health checks are disabled for this target group by default. :: aws elbv2 create-target-group \ --name my-lambda-target \ --target-type lambda Output:: { "TargetGroups": [ { "TargetGroupName": "my-lambda-target", "TargetType": "lambda", "HealthCheckEnabled": false, "UnhealthyThresholdCount": 2, "HealthyThresholdCount": 5, "HealthCheckPath": "/", "Matcher": { "HttpCode": "200" }, "HealthCheckIntervalSeconds": 35, "HealthCheckTimeoutSeconds": 30, "TargetGroupArn": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-lambda-target/a3003e085dbb8ddc" } ] } For more information, see `Lambda functions as targets <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/lambda-functions.html>`__ in the *User Guide for Application Load Balancers*. **Example 4: To create a target group to route traffic to a Gateway Load Balancer** The following ``create-target-group`` example creates a target group for a Gateway Load Balancer where the target is an instance, and the target group protocol is GENEVE. :: aws elbv2 create-target-group \ --name my-glb-targetgroup \ --protocol GENEVE \ --port 6081 \ --target-type instance \ --vpc-id vpc-838475fe Output:: { "TargetGroups": [ { "TargetGroupArn": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-glb-targetgroup/00c3d57eacd6f40b6f", "TargetGroupName": "my-glb-targetgroup", "Protocol": "GENEVE", "Port": 6081, "VpcId": "vpc-838475fe", "HealthCheckProtocol": "TCP", "HealthCheckPort": "80", "HealthCheckEnabled": true, "HealthCheckIntervalSeconds": 10, "HealthCheckTimeoutSeconds": 5, "HealthyThresholdCount": 5, "UnhealthyThresholdCount": 2, "TargetType": "instance" } ] } For more information, see `Create a target group for your Gateway Load Balancer <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/gateway/create-target-group.html>`__ in the *User Guide for Gateway Load Balancers*.
