**To create an Internet-facing load balancer**

This example creates an Internet-facing Application Load Balancer and enables the Availability Zones for the specified subnets.

Command::

  aws elbv2 create-load-balancer --name my-load-balancer --subnets subnet-b7d581c0 subnet-8360a9e7

Output::

**To create an internal load balancer**

This example creates an internal Application Load Balancer and enables the Availability Zones for the specified subnets.

Command::

  aws elbv2 create-load-balancer --name my-internal-load-balancer --scheme internal --subnets subnet-b7d581c0 subnet-8360a9e7

Output::

  {
    "LoadBalancers": [
        {

**To create a Network Load Balancer**

This example creates an Internet-facing Network Load Balancer and enables the Availability Zone for the specified subnet. It uses a subnet mapping to associate the specified Elastic IP address with the network interface used by the load balancer nodes for the Availability Zone.

Command::

  aws elbv2 create-load-balancer --name my-network-load-balancer --type network --subnet-mappings SubnetId=subnet-b7d581c0,AllocationId=eipalloc-64d5890a

Output::

  {
    "LoadBalancers": [
        {
            "Type": "network",
            "Scheme": "internet-facing",
            "IpAddressType": "ipv4",
            "VpcId": "vpc-3ac0fb5f",
            "AvailabilityZones": [
                {
                    "LoadBalancerAddresses": [
                        {
                            "IpAddress": "35.161.207.171",
                            "AllocationId": "eipalloc-64d5890a"
                        }
                    ],
                    "ZoneName": "us-west-2b",
                    "SubnetId": "subnet-5264e837"
