AWS::GlobalAccelerator::Accelerator
The AWS::GlobalAccelerator::Accelerator
resource is a Global Accelerator resource type that contains information about
how you 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 Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers,
and Amazon EC2 instances.
Syntax
To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:
JSON
{ "Type" : "AWS::GlobalAccelerator::Accelerator", "Properties" : { "Enabled" :
Boolean
, "IpAddresses" :[ String, ... ]
, "IpAddressType" :String
, "Name" :String
, "Tags" :[ Tag, ... ]
} }
YAML
Type: AWS::GlobalAccelerator::Accelerator Properties: Enabled:
Boolean
IpAddresses:- String
IpAddressType:String
Name:String
Tags:- Tag
Properties
Enabled
-
Indicates whether the accelerator is enabled. The value is true or false. The default value is true.
If the value is set to true, the accelerator cannot be deleted. If set to false, accelerator can be deleted.
Required: No
Type: Boolean
Update requires: No interruption
IpAddresses
-
Optionally, if you've added your own IP address pool to Global Accelerator (BYOIP), you can choose IP addresses from your own pool to use for the accelerator's static IP addresses when you create an accelerator. You can specify one or two addresses, separated by a comma. Do not include the /32 suffix.
Only one IP address from each of your IP address ranges can be used for each accelerator. If you specify only one IP address from your IP address range, Global Accelerator assigns a second static IP address for the accelerator from the AWS IP address pool.
Note that you can't update IP addresses for an existing accelerator. To change them, you must create a new accelerator with the new addresses.
For more information, see Bring Your Own IP Addresses (BYOIP) in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide.
Required: No
Type: Array of String
Update requires: No interruption
IpAddressType
-
The IP address type that an accelerator supports. For a standard accelerator, the value can be IPV4 or DUAL_STACK.
Required: No
Type: String
Allowed values:
IPV4 | DUAL_STACK
Update requires: No interruption
Name
-
The name of the accelerator. The name must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens (-), and must not begin or end with a hyphen.
Required: Yes
Type: String
Pattern:
^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{0,64}$
Minimum:
1
Maximum:
64
Update requires: No interruption
-
Create tags for an accelerator.
For more information, see Tagging in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide.
Required: No
Type: Array of Tag
Update requires: No interruption
Return values
Ref
When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref
function, Ref
returns the ARN of the accelerator, such as
arn:aws:globalaccelerator::012345678901:accelerator/1234abcd-abcd-1234-abcd-1234abcdefgh
.
For more information about using the Ref
function, see Ref
.
Fn::GetAtt
The Fn::GetAtt
intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.
For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt
intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt
.
AcceleratorArn
-
The ARN of the accelerator, such as
arn:aws:globalaccelerator::012345678901:accelerator/1234abcd-abcd-1234-abcd-1234abcdefgh
. DnsName
-
The Domain Name System (DNS) name that Global Accelerator creates that points to an accelerator's static IPv4 addresses.
DualStackDnsName
-
The DNS name that Global Accelerator creates that points to a dual-stack accelerator's four static IP addresses: two IPv4 addresses and two IPv6 addresses.
Ipv4Addresses
-
The array of IPv4 addresses in the IP address set. An IP address set can have a maximum of two IP addresses.
Ipv6Addresses
-
The array of IPv6 addresses in the IP address set. An IP address set can have a maximum of two IP addresses.
