API to Manage aws-elb

I read jclouds and jclouds-lab docs and code, but could not quite determine if the API provides a way to create an "empty" ELB then add additional nodes to it as the need arises?


I am thinking that perhaps going straight to Amazon API may be a better choice, but not sure.  What do you think?

I'll check, but that LoadBalancerAPI link refers to Racksapce.

Thank-you...

Do any of the methods in the ELB LoadBalancerApi [1] look like they  
might address your needs? That's the provider-specific (i.e.  
"backend") API, by the way, but I suspect the portable version [2]  
might not support your specific case (although I'm hardly the expert  
there!).

The ELB LoadBalancerApi should allow you to make pretty much any call  
supported by Amazon's HTTP interface, so if you're missing  
functionality here, please create an issue [3] or, better still,  
submit a pull request [4]!
