Create a target group

Target groups provide a flexible way to manage load balancing nodes or targets.

Provider	Notes
AWS	An Application load balancer sends traffic to a target group by default. You can create multiple target groups for each load balancer.
OCI	Each target group belongs exclusively to a single load balancer. You must create at least one target group per load balancer
GCP	You can create multiple target groups that can belong to multiple load balancers
