AWS Application Load Balancer

this topic explains how to use an aws application load balancer (layer 7) for your swimlane deployment two load balancers are required for this deployment the aws application load balancer (layer 7) is used for external access to the swimlane platform and the swimlane platform installer an additional aws network load balancer (layer 4) is still required for the internal cluster communication architecture diagram load balancer for the swimlane platform and the swimlane platform installer target groups create the following target group https //docs aws amazon com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/load balancer target groups html port 4443 type set to instance protocol set to https port set to 4443 vpc should match that of the ec2 instances that swimlane will be installed on health check protocol set to https health check port set to traffic port the health check settings healthy threshold , unhealthy threshold , timeout , and interval may vary based on your preferences for how quickly an instance should become unhealthy in order to stop receiving traffic health check success codes set to 200 register the first instance that you'll be running the swimlane platform installer on to the target group with port set to 4443 after swimlane has been installed on the additional nodes they need to be added to this target group port 8800 type set to instance protocol set to https port set to 8800 vpc should match that of the ec2 instances that swimlane will be installed on health check protocol set to https health check port set to traffic port the health check settings healthy threshold , unhealthy threshold , timeout , and interval may vary based on your preferences for how quickly an instance should become unhealthy in order to stop receiving traffic health check success codes set to 200 register the first instance that you'll be running the swimlane platform installer on to the target group with port set to 8800 after swimlane

host, path, query status code set to 301 permanently moved availability zones the application load balancer's vpc should match that of the ec2 instances that swimlane will be installed on the application load balancer's availability zones should include each availability zone used by the ec2 instances that swimlane will be installed on security groups for aws application load balancers, ingress port access is defined in the security group assigned to the load balancer itself for more information about the port requirements see the external access section of the system requirements
