Creating target groups

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

In cluster deployments, target groups forward traffic from the load balancer to a specific node of the Avaya Aura® Device Services cluster when certain conditions are met.

You must configure two target groups for Avaya Aura® Device Services node IP addresses and two target groups for Utility Server IP addresses with the following parameters:

Group

Protocol

Port

IP to register

Target group for Avaya Aura® Device Services nodes #1

HTTPS

443

IP addresses of all Avaya Aura® Device Services nodes in the cluster.

These are the IP addresses of the primary eth0 interface of cluster nodes.

On the Avaya Aura® Device Services administration portal, you must enable the use of an external load balancer. For details, see Administering Avaya Aura® Device Services.

Target group for Avaya Aura® Device Services nodes #2

HTTPS

8445

IP addresses of all Avaya Aura® Device Services nodes in the cluster.

These are the IP addresses of the primary eth0 interface of cluster nodes.

Target group for Utility Server nodes #1

HTTP

8468

IP addresses of the Utility Server on each node in the cluster.

This is the IP addresses of the secondary eth1 interface of cluster nodes.

Target group for Utility Server nodes #2

HTTPS

8458

IP addresses of the Utility Server on each node in the cluster.

This is the IP addresses of the secondary eth1 interface of cluster nodes.

Only perform this procedure if you have an Avaya Aura® Device Services cluster.

Procedure

Repeat the following steps for each target group:

  1. On the Amazon Web Services Management console, navigate to Services  > EC2  > Target Groups.
  2. Click Create target group.

    The Amazon Web Services Management displays the Specify group details page.

  3. In the Basic configuration area, configure settings as follows:
    1. In Choose a target type, select IP addresses.
    2. In Target group name, type a name of your choice for the group.
    3. In Protocol, select the protocol specified for the group in the Protocol column of the table.
    4. In Port, type the port number specified for the group in the Port column of the table.
    5. In VPC, select the Virtual Private Cloud that you are using for your deployment.
    6. In Protocol version, select HTTP1.
  4. In the Health checks area, configure the settings as follows:
    1. In Health check protocol, select HTTP.
    2. In Health check path, type /health.
  5. Click Next.
  6. On the Register targets page, configure IP addresses for the group as follows:
    1. In IP, type the IP address of a node as specified in the IP to register column of the table for the group you are configuring.
    2. In Port, type the port number specified for the group in the Port column of the table.
    3. Click Include as pending below.
    4. Repeat substeps a to c for all remaining IP addresses that you must include in the group.
  7. Click Create target group.
  8. After creating all target groups, do the following:
    1. Navigate to Services  > EC2  > Target Groups and select the target group that you have created.
    2. Select the target group for port 8445 that you have just created.
    3. In the Attributes area, click Edit.
    4. On the Edit attributes page, select the Stickiness check box.
