terraform-aws-alb

Terraform module to create an ALB, default ALB listener(s), and a default ALB target and related security groups.

Note

This project is part of Cloud Posse's comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!

Usage

Important We do not pin modules to versions in Cloud Posse's examples because of the difficulty of keeping the versions in the documentation in sync with the latest released versions. We highly recommend that in your code you pin the version to the exact version you are using so that your infrastructure remains stable, and update versions in a systematic way so that they do not catch you by surprise.

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated test of the complete example using bats and Terratest, see test.
