Example AWS CloudFormation template for network load balancer

We needed a public network load balancer with SSL (through AWS Certificate Manager) and took me some retry’s to get it right since most examples are based upon the classic or application load balancer so here to share:

  Terra10NetworkLoadBalancer:
    Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer
    Properties:
      Name: t10-networkloadbalancer
      Scheme: internet-facing
      Subnets: !Ref Terra10Subnet
      Type: network
      Tags:
        - Key: Name
          Value: t10-networklb
  Terra10NetworkLoadBalancerTargetGroup:
    Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup
    Properties:
      Name: t10-networklb-target
      Port: 443
      Protocol: TCP
      VpcId: !ImportValue t10-vpc-id
      TargetGroupAttributes:
        - Key: deregistration_delay.timeout_seconds
          Value: 60
      Targets:
      - Id: !Ref Terra10EC2Instance1
        Port: 443
      - Id: !Ref Terra10EC2Instance2
        Port: 443  
      Tags:
        - Key: Name
          Value: t10-networklb-target
  Terra10NetworkLoadBalancerListener:
    Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener
    Properties:
      DefaultActions:
      - Type: forward
        TargetGroupArn: !Ref Terra10NetworkLoadBalancerTargetGroup
      LoadBalancerArn: !Ref Terra10NetworkLoadBalancer
      Port: '443'
      Protocol: TCP
  Terra10NetworkLoadBalancerListenerCert:
    Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::ListenerCertificate
    Properties:
      Certificates:
        - CertificateArn: arn:aws:acm:eu-west-1:xxxaccountxxx:certificate/123456....
      ListenerArn: !Ref Terra10NetworkLoadBalancerListener
