Hi,

I recently came across ec2\_elb module, using which I could register or de-register an instance with an existing elb.

I would like to know whether there is any module available to create a new ELB and if not, how to accomplish this via playbooks.

Thanks,  
Chinmaya

That is not currently supported but I know a number of people want it. There is also this open pull request: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/4188](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/4188)
