Accelerator

Learn how to create, update, and manage AWS GlobalAccelerator Accelerators using Alchemy Cloud Control.

The Accelerator resource lets you manage AWS GlobalAccelerator Accelerators which improve the availability and performance of your applications with dynamic routing and TCP/UDP support.

Minimal Example

Create a basic accelerator with required properties and a common optional setting.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";

const basicAccelerator = await AWS.GlobalAccelerator.Accelerator("basic-accelerator", {
  name: "MyBasicAccelerator",
  enabled: true, // Enable the accelerator
  ipAddressType: "IPV4" // Choose the IP address type
});

Advanced Configuration

Configure an accelerator with specific IP addresses and tags for better management.

const advancedAccelerator = await AWS.GlobalAccelerator.Accelerator("advanced-accelerator", {
  name: "MyAdvancedAccelerator",
  enabled: true,
  ipAddresses: ["203.0.113.25", "203.0.113.26"], // Specify custom IP addresses
  tags: [
    { key: "Environment", value: "Production" },
    { key: "Team", value: "DevOps" }
  ]
});

Adoption of Existing Resources

Create an accelerator that adopts an existing resource if it already exists.

const adoptedAccelerator = await AWS.GlobalAccelerator.Accelerator("adopted-accelerator", {
  name: "MyAdoptedAccelerator",
  enabled: true,
  adopt: true // Adopt the existing resource instead of failing
});

Enabling Features

Set up an accelerator with additional features like specific IP address types for enhanced routing capabilities.

const featureRichAccelerator = await AWS.GlobalAccelerator.Accelerator("feature-rich-accelerator", {
  name: "MyFeatureRichAccelerator",
  enabled: true,
  ipAddressType: "IPV6", // Use IPv6 addresses
  tags: [
    { key: "UseCase", value: "HighAvailability" }
  ]
});
