The final role we are going to look at in this chapter is one which launches an Application Load Balancer. Well, it creates a target group which is then attached to an Application Load Balancer. The load balancer we will be creating with this role is basic; we will be going into a lot more detail in the later chapter.
Like the other roles, we first need to bootstrap the files:
$ ansible-galaxy init roles/elb
Now open roles/elb/tasks/main.yml and use the elb_target_group module to create the target group:
- name: provision the target group elb_target_group: name: "{{ environment_name }}-target-group" region: "{{ ec2_region }}" protocol: "http" port: "80" deregistration_delay_timeout: "15" vpc_id: "{{ vpc_info.vpc.id }}" state: ...
