Hello,

In terraform you can attach a weight to the default\_action under listeners to forward a percentage of traffic to another target group [https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/lb\_listener](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/lb_listener).

Is the available in ansible.  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/aws/elb\_application\_lb\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/aws/elb_application_lb_module.html)

I can see under listeners we have TargetGroupArn and Type but no weight like it is available in terraform. Can anyone suggest a way to get around this?

Thanks

It might just work if you define it in the structure that you supply
