Register/Deregister EC2 Servers under ELB using AWS .NET Toolkit

I have been working with AWS toolkit for some time in last week. I prepared some tools to automate our infra team tasks and for our internal development and testing purpose.

Here I will show you how to register/de-register EC2 instances with Elastic Load Balancer programmatically using AWS .NET toolkit.

First get your awsSecretAccessKey and awsAccessKey,


1
2
 string awsSecretAccessKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["awsSecretAccessKey"];
 string awsAccessKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["awsAccessKey"];

Note: The user account you use here for Secret Key and Access Key must have full access to EC2 service of AWS

Create EC2 Client,


1
 var client = AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonElasticLoadBalancingClient(awsAccessKey, awsSecretAccessKey, RegionEndpoint.USWest2);

Make sure you specify correct RegionEndPoint where your EC2 instances exist. Here I have used USWest2 region end point.

Now lets check whether the instance you want to register/de-register already exist under the given ELB.

DescribeLoadBalancersResponse loadBalancers = client.DescribeLoadBalancers(new DescribeLoadBalancersRequest
                        {
                            LoadBalancerNames = new List<string>() { ELBName }
                        });
                        if (loadBalancers != null && loadBalancers.LoadBalancerDescriptions.Count > 0)
                        {
                            //Instance to add in ELB
                            Amazon.ElasticLoadBalancing.Model.Instance EC2Instance = new Amazon.ElasticLoadBalancing.Model.Instance(InstanceId);

                            List<Amazon.ElasticLoadBalancing.Model.Instance> registeredInstances = loadBalancers.LoadBalancerDescriptions.FirstOrDefault().Instances;

                            if (registeredInstances == null)
                                registeredInstances = new List<Amazon.ElasticLoadBalancing.Model.Instance>();

                            //Check if the current instance to be added exists in already registered instances of elb
                            if (registeredInstances.Any(instance => instance.InstanceId == EC2Instance.InstanceId))
                            {
                                InstanceExists = true;
                            }
                        }

If the instance already exist under ELB then let's de-register it,

if(InstanceExists)
    {
        client.DeregisterInstancesFromLoadBalancer(new DeregisterInstancesFromLoadBalancerRequest
             {
                  Instances = new List<Amazon.ElasticLoadBalancing.Model.Instance> { EC2Instance  },
                                LoadBalancerName = ELBName
             });
    }

If the instance does not exist under ELB then let's register it,

 if (!InstanceExists)
         {
           client.RegisterInstancesWithLoadBalancer(new RegisterInstancesWithLoadBalancerRequest
                 {
                       Instances = new List<Amazon.ElasticLoadBalancing.Model.Instance> { EC2Instance },
                                    LoadBalancerName = ELBName
                 });
         }

Here is the full code for registering/de-registering EC2 instances with an elastic load balancer. The idea here is to attach a single server at a time.
