**To create a load balancer**

The following ``create-load-balancer`` example creates a load balancer with a TLS certificate. The TLS certificate applies to the specified domains, and routes traffic to instances on port 80. ::

    aws lightsail create-load-balancer \
        --certificate-alternative-names www.example.com test.example.com \
        --certificate-domain-name example.com \
        --certificate-name Certificate-1 \
        --instance-port 80 \
        --load-balancer-name LoadBalancer-1

Output::
