Create AWS Network Load Balancer with Terraform - Demo for both TCP and TLS Listeners. This repository contains configuration files and a step-by-step guide to creating an AWS Network Load Balancer (NLB) using Terraform. The focus is on creating both TCP and TLS Listeners, along with creating an associated Target Group. Through this project, you will be able to efficiently deploy and manage an NLB on your AWS infrastructure, providing reliable and scalable load balancing for your applications. |
