The following code examples show how to use RegisterTargets.

CLI

AWS CLI

Example 1: To register targets with a target group by instance ID

The following register-targets example registers the specified instances with a target group. The target group must have a target type of instance.

aws elbv2 register-targets \
    --target-group-arn arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-targets/73e2d6bc24d8a067 \
    --targets Id=i-1234567890abcdef0 Id=i-0abcdef1234567890

Example 2: To register targets with a target group using port overrides

The following register-targets example registers the specified instance with a target group using multiple ports. This enables you to register containers on the same instance as targets in the target group.

aws elbv2 register-targets \
    --target-group-arn arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-internal-targets/3bb63f11dfb0faf9 \
    --targets Id=i-0598c7d356eba48d7,Port=80 Id=i-0598c7d356eba48d7,Port=766

Example 3: To register targets with a target group by IP address

The following register-targets example registers the specified IP addresses with a target group. The target group must have a target type of ip.

aws elbv2 register-targets \
    --target-group-arn arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-tcp-ip-targets/8518e899d173178f \
    --targets Id=10.0.1.15 Id=10.0.1.23

Example 4: To register a Lambda function as a target

The following register-targets example registers the specified IP addresses with a target group. The target group must have a target type of lambda. You must grant Elastic Load Balancing permission to invoke the Lambda function.

aws elbv2 register-targets \
    --target-group-arn arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-tcp-ip-targets/8518e899d173178f \
    --targets Id=arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:my-function
