/**
 * <fullname>Elastic Load Balancing</fullname>
 * <p>
 * A load balancer can distribute incoming traffic across your EC2 instances. This enables you to increase the
 * availability of your application. The load balancer also monitors the health of its registered instances and ensures
 * that it routes traffic only to healthy instances. You configure your load balancer to accept incoming traffic by
 * specifying one or more listeners, which are configured with a protocol and port number for connections from clients
 * to the load balancer and a protocol and port number for connections from the load balancer to the instances.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Elastic Load Balancing supports three types of load balancers: Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers,
 * and Classic Load Balancers. You can select a load balancer based on your application needs. For more information, see
 * the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/userguide/">Elastic Load Balancing User
 * Guide</a>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This reference covers the 2012-06-01 API, which supports Classic Load Balancers. The 2015-12-01 API supports
 * Application Load Balancers and Network Load Balancers.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * To get started, create a load balancer with one or more listeners using <a>CreateLoadBalancer</a>. Register your
 * instances with the load balancer using <a>RegisterInstancesWithLoadBalancer</a>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * All Elastic Load Balancing operations are <i>idempotent</i>, which means that they complete at most one time. If you
 * repeat an operation, it succeeds with a 200 OK response code.
 * </p>
