AWS Shared ALB by EC2 instance tag
Posted on Mon 15 February 2021 in devops
motivation
in AWS setups, loadbalancers can be are quite cost-intensive.
If you are in a non-production environment, you probably do not need one LB for each (micro-)service.
This lambda function automatically adds ec2 instances to a targetgroup & adds a host-header-based rule to a single shared ALB
