Table of Contents

Client

class GlobalAccelerator.Client

A low-level client representing AWS Global Accelerator:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('globalaccelerator')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
create_accelerator(**kwargs)

Create an accelerator. An accelerator includes one or more listeners that process inbound connections and direct traffic to one or more endpoint groups, each of which includes endpoints, such as Network Load Balancers. To see an AWS CLI example of creating an accelerator, scroll down to Example .

Warning

You must specify the US-West-2 (Oregon) Region to create or update accelerators.

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the listener.

  • EndpointGroupRegion (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the AWS Region where the endpoint group is located. A listener can have only one endpoint group in a specific Region.

  • EndpointConfigurations (list) --

    • (dict) --

      A complex type for endpoints.

      • EndpointId (string) --

        An ID for the endpoint. If the endpoint is a Network Load Balancer or Application Load Balancer, this is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource. If the endpoint is an Elastic IP address, this is the Elastic IP address allocation ID.

      • Weight (integer) --

        The weight associated with the endpoint. When you add weights to endpoints, you configure AWS Global Accelerator to route traffic based on proportions that you specify. For example, you might specify endpoint weights of 4, 5, 5, and 6 (sum=20). The result is that 4/20 of your traffic, on average, is routed to the first endpoint, 5/20 is routed both to the second and third endpoints, and 6/20 is routed to the last endpoint. For more information, see Endpoint Weights in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

      • ClientIPPreservationEnabled (boolean) --

        Indicates whether client IP address preservation is enabled for an Application Load Balancer endpoint. The value is true or false. The default value is true for new accelerators.

        If the value is set to true, the client's IP address is preserved in the X-Forwarded-For request header as traffic travels to applications on the Application Load Balancer endpoint fronted by the accelerator.

        For more information, see Viewing Client IP Addresses in AWS Global Accelerator in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

  • TrafficDialPercentage (float) --

    The percentage of traffic to send to an AWS Region. Additional traffic is distributed to other endpoint groups for this listener.

    Use this action to increase (dial up) or decrease (dial down) traffic to a specific Region. The percentage is applied to the traffic that would otherwise have been routed to the Region based on optimal routing.

    The default value is 100.

  • HealthCheckPort (integer) -- The port that AWS Global Accelerator uses to check the health of endpoints that are part of this endpoint group. The default port is the listener port that this endpoint group is associated with. If listener port is a list of ports, Global Accelerator uses the first port in the list.
  • HealthCheckProtocol (string) -- The protocol that AWS Global Accelerator uses to check the health of endpoints that are part of this endpoint group. The default value is TCP.
  • HealthCheckPath (string) -- If the protocol is HTTP/S, then this specifies the path that is the destination for health check targets. The default value is slash (/).
  • HealthCheckIntervalSeconds (integer) -- The time—10 seconds or 30 seconds—between each health check for an endpoint. The default value is 30.
  • ThresholdCount (integer) -- The number of consecutive health checks required to set the state of a healthy endpoint to unhealthy, or to set an unhealthy endpoint to healthy. The default value is 3.
  • IdempotencyToken (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency—that is, the uniqueness—of the request.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_listener(
    AcceleratorArn='string',

        },
    ],
    Protocol='TCP'|'UDP',
    ClientAffinity='NONE'|'SOURCE_IP',
    IdempotencyToken='string'
)
Parameters
  • AcceleratorArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of your accelerator.

  • PortRanges (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The list of port ranges to support for connections from clients to your accelerator.

    • (dict) --

      A complex type for a range of ports for a listener.

      • FromPort (integer) --

        The first port in the range of ports, inclusive.

      • ToPort (integer) --

        The last port in the range of ports, inclusive.

  • Protocol (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The protocol for connections from clients to your accelerator.

  • ClientAffinity (string) --

    Client affinity lets you direct all requests from a user to the same endpoint, if you have stateful applications, regardless of the port and protocol of the client request. Clienty affinity gives you control over whether to always route each client to the same specific endpoint.

    AWS Global Accelerator uses a consistent-flow hashing algorithm to choose the optimal endpoint for a connection. If client affinity is NONE , Global Accelerator uses the "five-tuple" (5-tuple) properties—source IP address, source port, destination IP address, destination port, and protocol—to select the hash value, and then chooses the best endpoint. However, with this setting, if someone uses different ports to connect to Global Accelerator, their connections might not be always routed to the same endpoint because the hash value changes.

    If you want a given client to always be routed to the same endpoint, set client affinity to SOURCE_IP instead. When you use the SOURCE_IP setting, Global Accelerator uses the "two-tuple" (2-tuple) properties— source (client) IP address and destination IP address—to select the hash value.

    The default value is NONE .

  • IdempotencyToken (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

  • (dict) --
    • EndpointGroup (dict) --

      The description of an endpoint group.

      • EndpointGroupArn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the endpoint group.

      • EndpointGroupRegion (string) --

        The AWS Region that this endpoint group belongs.

      • EndpointDescriptions (list) --

        The list of endpoint objects.

        • (dict) --

          A complex type for an endpoint. Each endpoint group can include one or more endpoints, such as load balancers.

          • EndpointId (string) --

            An ID for the endpoint. If the endpoint is a Network Load Balancer or Application Load Balancer, this is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource. If the endpoint is an Elastic IP address, this is the Elastic IP address allocation ID. An Application Load Balancer can be either internal or internet-facing.

          • Weight (integer) --

            The weight associated with the endpoint. When you add weights to endpoints, you configure AWS Global Accelerator to route traffic based on proportions that you specify. For example, you might specify endpoint weights of 4, 5, 5, and 6 (sum=20). The result is that 4/20 of your traffic, on average, is routed to the first endpoint, 5/20 is routed both to the second and third endpoints, and 6/20 is routed to the last endpoint. For more information, see Endpoint Weights in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

          • HealthState (string) --

            The health status of the endpoint.

          • HealthReason (string) --

            The reason code associated with why the endpoint is not healthy. If the endpoint state is healthy, a reason code is not provided.

            If the endpoint state is unhealthy , the reason code can be one of the following values:

            • Timeout : The health check requests to the endpoint are timing out before returning a status.
            • Failed : The health check failed, for example because the endpoint response was invalid (malformed).

            If the endpoint state is initial , the reason code can be one of the following values:

            • ProvisioningInProgress : The endpoint is in the process of being provisioned.
            • InitialHealthChecking : Global Accelerator is still setting up the minimum number of health checks for the endpoint that are required to determine its health status.
          • ClientIPPreservationEnabled (boolean) --

            Indicates whether client IP address preservation is enabled for an Application Load Balancer endpoint. The value is true or false. The default value is true for new accelerators.

            If the value is set to true, the client's IP address is preserved in the X-Forwarded-For request header as traffic travels to applications on the Application Load Balancer endpoint fronted by the accelerator.

            For more information, see Viewing Client IP Addresses in AWS Global Accelerator in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

      • TrafficDialPercentage (float) --

        The percentage of traffic to send to an AWS Region. Additional traffic is distributed to other endpoint groups for this listener.

        Use this action to increase (dial up) or decrease (dial down) traffic to a specific Region. The percentage is applied to the traffic that would otherwise have been routed to the Region based on optimal routing.

        The default value is 100.

      • HealthCheckPort (integer) --

        The port that Global Accelerator uses to perform health checks on endpoints that are part of this endpoint group.

        The default port is the port for the listener that this endpoint group is associated with. If the listener port is a list, Global Accelerator uses the first specified port in the list of ports.

      • HealthCheckProtocol (string) --

        The protocol that Global Accelerator uses to perform health checks on endpoints that are part of this endpoint group. The default value is TCP.

      • HealthCheckPath (string) --

        If the protocol is HTTP/S, then this value provides the ping path that Global Accelerator uses for the destination on the endpoints for health checks. The default is slash (/).

      • HealthCheckIntervalSeconds (integer) --

        The time—10 seconds or 30 seconds—between health checks for each endpoint. The default value is 30.

      • ThresholdCount (integer) --

        The number of consecutive health checks required to set the state of a healthy endpoint to unhealthy, or to set an unhealthy endpoint to healthy. The default value is 3.

  • (dict) --
    • Listener (dict) --

      The description of a listener.

      • ListenerArn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the listener.

      • PortRanges (list) --

        The list of port ranges for the connections from clients to the accelerator.

        • (dict) --

          A complex type for a range of ports for a listener.

          • FromPort (integer) --

            The first port in the range of ports, inclusive.

          • ToPort (integer) --

            The last port in the range of ports, inclusive.

      • Protocol (string) --

        The protocol for the connections from clients to the accelerator.

      • ClientAffinity (string) --

        Client affinity lets you direct all requests from a user to the same endpoint, if you have stateful applications, regardless of the port and protocol of the client request. Clienty affinity gives you control over whether to always route each client to the same specific endpoint.

        AWS Global Accelerator uses a consistent-flow hashing algorithm to choose the optimal endpoint for a connection. If client affinity is NONE , Global Accelerator uses the "five-tuple" (5-tuple) properties—source IP address, source port, destination IP address, destination port, and protocol—to select the hash value, and then chooses the best endpoint. However, with this setting, if someone uses different ports to connect to Global Accelerator, their connections might not be always routed to the same endpoint because the hash value changes.

        If you want a given client to always be routed to the same endpoint, set client affinity to SOURCE_IP instead. When you use the SOURCE_IP setting, Global Accelerator uses the "two-tuple" (2-tuple) properties— source (client) IP address and destination IP address—to select the hash value.

        The default value is NONE .

generate_presigned_url(ClientMethod, Params=None, ExpiresIn=3600, HttpMethod=None)

get_paginator(operation_name)

Create a paginator for an operation.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client.

    Protocol='TCP'|'UDP',
    ClientAffinity='NONE'|'SOURCE_IP'
)
Parameters
  • ListenerArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the listener to update.

  • PortRanges (list) --

    The updated list of port ranges for the connections from clients to the accelerator.

    • (dict) --

      A complex type for a range of ports for a listener.

      • FromPort (integer) --

        The first port in the range of ports, inclusive.

      • ToPort (integer) --

        The last port in the range of ports, inclusive.

  • Protocol (string) -- The updated protocol for the connections from clients to the accelerator.
  • ClientAffinity (string) --

    Client affinity lets you direct all requests from a user to the same endpoint, if you have stateful applications, regardless of the port and protocol of the client request. Clienty affinity gives you control over whether to always route each client to the same specific endpoint.

    AWS Global Accelerator uses a consistent-flow hashing algorithm to choose the optimal endpoint for a connection. If client affinity is NONE , Global Accelerator uses the "five-tuple" (5-tuple) properties—source IP address, source port, destination IP address, destination port, and protocol—to select the hash value, and then chooses the best endpoint. However, with this setting, if someone uses different ports to connect to Global Accelerator, their connections might not be always routed to the same endpoint because the hash value changes.

    If you want a given client to always be routed to the same endpoint, set client affinity to SOURCE_IP instead. When you use the SOURCE_IP setting, Global Accelerator uses the "two-tuple" (2-tuple) properties— source (client) IP address and destination IP address—to select the hash value.

    The default value is NONE .

            • ClientIPPreservationEnabled (boolean) --

              Indicates whether client IP address preservation is enabled for an Application Load Balancer endpoint. The value is true or false. The default value is true for new accelerators.

              If the value is set to true, the client's IP address is preserved in the X-Forwarded-For request header as traffic travels to applications on the Application Load Balancer endpoint fronted by the accelerator.

              For more information, see Viewing Client IP Addresses in AWS Global Accelerator in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

        • TrafficDialPercentage (float) --

          The percentage of traffic to send to an AWS Region. Additional traffic is distributed to other endpoint groups for this listener.

          Use this action to increase (dial up) or decrease (dial down) traffic to a specific Region. The percentage is applied to the traffic that would otherwise have been routed to the Region based on optimal routing.

          The default value is 100.

        • HealthCheckPort (integer) --

          The port that Global Accelerator uses to perform health checks on endpoints that are part of this endpoint group.

          The default port is the port for the listener that this endpoint group is associated with. If the listener port is a list, Global Accelerator uses the first specified port in the list of ports.

        • HealthCheckProtocol (string) --

          The protocol that Global Accelerator uses to perform health checks on endpoints that are part of this endpoint group. The default value is TCP.

        • HealthCheckPath (string) --

          If the protocol is HTTP/S, then this value provides the ping path that Global Accelerator uses for the destination on the endpoints for health checks. The default is slash (/).

        • HealthCheckIntervalSeconds (integer) --

          The time—10 seconds or 30 seconds—between health checks for each endpoint. The default value is 30.

        • ThresholdCount (integer) --

          The number of consecutive health checks required to set the state of a healthy endpoint to unhealthy, or to set an unhealthy endpoint to healthy. The default value is 3.

class GlobalAccelerator.Paginator.ListListeners
paginator = client.get_paginator('list_listeners')
paginate(**kwargs)

Creates an iterator that will paginate through responses from GlobalAccelerator.Client.list_listeners().

Request Syntax

response_iterator = paginator.paginate(
    AcceleratorArn='string',
    PaginationConfig={
        'MaxItems': 123,
        'PageSize': 123,
        'StartingToken': 'string'
    }
)
Parameters
  • AcceleratorArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the accelerator for which you want to list listener objects.

  • PaginationConfig (dict) --

    A dictionary that provides parameters to control pagination.

    • MaxItems (integer) --

      The total number of items to return. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified in max-items then a NextToken will be provided in the output that you can use to resume pagination.

    • PageSize (integer) --

      The size of each page.

    • StartingToken (string) --

      A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previous response.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Listeners (list) --

      The list of listeners for an accelerator.

      • (dict) --

        A complex type for a listener.

        • ListenerArn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the listener.

        • PortRanges (list) --

          The list of port ranges for the connections from clients to the accelerator.

          • (dict) --

            A complex type for a range of ports for a listener.

            • FromPort (integer) --

              The first port in the range of ports, inclusive.

            • ToPort (integer) --

              The last port in the range of ports, inclusive.

        • Protocol (string) --

          The protocol for the connections from clients to the accelerator.

        • ClientAffinity (string) --

          Client affinity lets you direct all requests from a user to the same endpoint, if you have stateful applications, regardless of the port and protocol of the client request. Clienty affinity gives you control over whether to always route each client to the same specific endpoint.

          AWS Global Accelerator uses a consistent-flow hashing algorithm to choose the optimal endpoint for a connection. If client affinity is NONE , Global Accelerator uses the "five-tuple" (5-tuple) properties—source IP address, source port, destination IP address, destination port, and protocol—to select the hash value, and then chooses the best endpoint. However, with this setting, if someone uses different ports to connect to Global Accelerator, their connections might not be always routed to the same endpoint because the hash value changes.

          If you want a given client to always be routed to the same endpoint, set client affinity to SOURCE_IP instead. When you use the SOURCE_IP setting, Global Accelerator uses the "two-tuple" (2-tuple) properties— source (client) IP address and destination IP address—to select the hash value.

          The default value is NONE .
