1. API Description

Domain name for API request: clb.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API (CreateLoadBalancer) is used to create a CLB instance. To use the CLB service, you first need to purchase one or more instances. After this API is called successfully, a unique instance ID will be returned. There are two types of instances: public network and private network. For more information, see the product types in the product documentation.

This is an async API. After it is returned successfully, you can call the DescribeLoadBalancers API to query the status of the instance (such as creating and normal) to check whether it is successfully created.
