Can't register EC2 instance in ELB

Viewed 3994

I'm trying to set up an AWS environment for the first time and have so far got a DNS entry pointing to a Classic ELB. I also have an EC2 instance running but I don't seem to be able to add the EC2 instance to the ELB in the UI. The documentation says that I can do this in the "Instances" tab in Load balancer screen but I don't have the tab at all. All I can see is Description | Listeners | Monitoring | Tags.

Does anyone have any ideas why the "Instances" tab night be missing from the UI?

It might be possible that you have selected Application Load Balancer instead of selecting Classic Load Balancer. If that is the case, then you need to add your instance in Target Group as Instances tab is not available in the Application Load Balancer.

I hope above may resolve your case.
