New One-step Migration Wizard to Migrate a Classic Load Balancer

Posted on: Nov 14, 2017

Today, AWS announced the ability to migrate from a Classic Load Balancer to an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer in one step using a console-based migration wizard. The migration wizard makes it very easy to create an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer with a configuration that is equivalent to your Classic Load Balancer. It removes need for step-by-step configuration and enables you to quickly test your application with a new type of load balancer. It also provides a single-screen view of the new configuration with flexibility to modify it before creating the new load balancer. After the migration, you can configure the advanced features offered by the new load balancer. You can access the migration wizard from the Migration tab in the console for a Classic Load Balancer. 

The migration wizard is available today in all AWS public regions. To learn more, please refer to Migrate Your Classic Load Balancer section of the Elastic Load Balancing user guide.
