Configuring an Amazon ALB is a multistage process. We’ve broken it down into multiple tasks so that it’s easy to follow.
Create Target Group
Begin by creating one target group for the http protocol. You’ll add your Linux nodes to this group.
Register Targets
Add your Linux nodes to the target group.
