ElasticLoadBalancing Policy

The ElasticLoadBalancing policy type is an embedded property of the AWS::ElasticLoadBalancing::LoadBalancer resource. You associate policies with a listener by referencing a policy's name in the listener's PolicyNames property.

Examples

This example shows a snippet of the policies section of an elastic load balancer listener. 


"Policies" : [
   {
      "PolicyName" : "MySSLNegotiationPolicy",
      "PolicyType" : "SSLNegotiationPolicyType",
      "Attributes" : [
         { "Name" : "Protocol-TLSv1", "Value" : "true" },
         { "Name" : "Protocol-SSLv3", "Value" : "false" },
         { "Name" : "DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA", "Value" : "true" } ]
   }, {
      "PolicyName" : "MyAppCookieStickinessPolicy",
      "PolicyType" : "AppCookieStickinessPolicyType",
      "Attributes" : [
         { "Name" : "CookieName", "Value" : "MyCookie"} ]
   }, {
      "PolicyName" : "MyPublicKeyPolicy",
      "PolicyType" : "PublicKeyPolicyType",
      "Attributes" : [ {
         "Name" : "PublicKey",
         "Value" : { "Fn::Join" : [
            "\n", [
               "MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDh/51Aohx5VrpmlfGHZCzciMBa",

         ] }
      } ]
   }, {
      "PolicyName" : "MyBackendServerAuthenticationPolicy",
      "PolicyType" : "BackendServerAuthenticationPolicyType",
      "Attributes" : [

This example shows a snippet of the policies section of an elastic load balancer using proxy protocol. 

"Policies" : [{
   "PolicyName" : "EnableProxyProtocol",
   "PolicyType" : "ProxyProtocolPolicyType",
   "Attributes" : [{
      "Name"  : "ProxyProtocol",
      "Value" : "true"
   }],
   "InstancePorts" : [{"Ref" : "WebServerPort"}]
}]

In the following snippet, the load balancer uses a predefined security policy. These predefined policies are provided by Elastic Load Balancing. For more information, see SSL Security Policies in the User Guide for Classic Load Balancers. 

"Policies" : [{
   "PolicyName" : "ELBSecurityPolicyName",
   "PolicyType" : "SSLNegotiationPolicyType",
   "Attributes" : [{
      "Name"  : "Reference-Security-Policy",
      "Value" : "ELBSecurityPolicy-2014-10"
   }]
}]
