Editing a Load Balancer Backend Set

Update the configuration of a backend set for a load balancer.

When you edit a backed set, you can choose a new load balancing policy and modify the SSL configuration.

To modify the backend set's health check policy, see Health Checks for Load Balancers for more information.

To add or remove backend servers from the backend set, see Backend Servers for Load Balancers for more information.

Note

Changing the load balancing policy of a backend set temporarily interrupts traffic and can drop active connections.
