Hi@akhtar,

You can find one module in ansible named ec2_elb_lb. This module is used to cretae an ELB in AWS. You can see the below playbook.

- name: Create the ELB only listening over port 80
  ec2_elb_lb:
  name: nickhammond-load-balancer
    state: present
    region: us-west-1
    zones:
      - us-west-1a
      - us-west-1b
    listeners:
      - protocol: http
        load_balancer_port: 80
        instance_port: 80
  register: elb
