attach_load_balancers#

AutoScaling.Client.attach_load_balancers(**kwargs)#

Note

To attach an Application Load Balancer, Network Load Balancer, or Gateway Load Balancer, use the AttachLoadBalancerTargetGroups API operation instead.

Attaches one or more Classic Load Balancers to the specified Auto Scaling group. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling registers the running instances with these Classic Load Balancers.

To describe the load balancers for an Auto Scaling group, call the DescribeLoadBalancers API. To detach a load balancer from the Auto Scaling group, call the DetachLoadBalancers API.

This operation is additive and does not detach existing Classic Load Balancers or target groups from the Auto Scaling group.

For more information, see Use Elastic Load Balancing to distribute traffic across the instances in your Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
