Creates a Classic Load Balancer. You can add listeners, security groups, subnets, and tags when you create your load balancer, or you can add them later using <a>CreateLoadBalancerListeners</a>, <a>ApplySecurityGroupsToLoadBalancer</a>, <a>AttachLoadBalancerToSubnets</a>, and <a>AddTags</a>. To describe your current load balancers, see <a>DescribeLoadBalancers</a>. When you are finished with a load balancer, you can delete it using <a>DeleteLoadBalancer</a>. You can create up to 20 load balancers per region per account. You can request an increase for the number of load balancers for your account. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/elb-limits.html">Limits for Your Classic Load Balancer</a> in the Classic Load Balancers Guide.
