alicloud_slb

Provides an Application Load Balancer resource.

NOTE: Resource alicloud_slb has deprecated 'listener' filed from terraform-alicloud-provider version 1.3.0 . You can create new listeners for Load Balancer by resource alicloud_slb_listener. If you have had several listeners in one load balancer, you can import them via the specified listener ID. In the alicloud_slb_listener, listener ID is consist of load balancer ID and frontend port, and its format is ":", like "lb-hr2fwnf32t:8080".

NOTE: At present, to avoid some unnecessary regulation confusion, SLB can not support alicloud international account to create "paybybandwidth" instance.

Example Usage

# Create a new load balancer for classic
resource "alicloud_slb" "classic" {
  name                 = "test-slb-tf"
  internet             = true
  internet_charge_type = "paybybandwidth"
  bandwidth            = 5
  specification = "slb.s1.small"
}

# Create a new load balancer for VPC
resource "alicloud_vpc" "default" {
  # Other parameters...
}

resource "alicloud_vswitch" "default" {
  # Other parameters...
}

resource "alicloud_slb" "vpc" {
  name       = "test-slb-tf"
  vswitch_id = "${alicloud_vswitch.default.id}"
}

The following arguments are supported:

name - (Optional) The name of the SLB. This name must be unique within your AliCloud account, can have a maximum of 80 characters, must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens, such as "-","/",".","_", and must not begin or end with a hyphen. If not specified, Terraform will autogenerate a name beginning with tf-lb.
internet - (Optional, Forces New Resource) If true, the SLB addressType will be internet, false will be intranet, Default is false. If load balancer launched in VPC, this value must be "false".
internet_charge_type - (Optional, Forces New Resource) Valid values are paybybandwidth, paybytraffic. If this value is "paybybandwidth", then argument "internet" must be "true". Default is "paybytraffic". If load balancer launched in VPC, this value must be "paybytraffic".
bandwidth - (Optional) Valid value is between 1 and 1000, If argument "internet_charge_type" is "paybytraffic", then this value will be ignore.
listener - (Deprecated) The field has been deprecated from terraform-alicloud-provider version 1.3.0, and use resource alicloud_slb_listener to replace.
vswitch_id - (Required for a VPC SLB, Forces New Resource) The VSwitch ID to launch in.
specification - (Optional) The specification of the Server Load Balancer instance. Default to empty string indicating it is "Shared-Performance" instance. Launching "Performance-guaranteed" instance, it is must be specified and it valid values are: "slb.s1.small", "slb.s2.small", "slb.s2.medium", "slb.s3.small", "slb.s3.medium" and "slb.s3.large".

NOTE: A "Shared-Performance" instance can be changed to "Performance-guaranteed", but the change is irreversible.

NOTE: To change a "Shared-Performance" instance to a "Performance-guaranteed" instance, the SLB will have a short probability of business interruption (10 seconds-30 seconds). Advise to change it during the business downturn, or migrate business to other SLB Instances by using GSLB before changing.
