The Edge Load Balancing module allows you to implement groups of data centers featuring load balancing, session persistence, and real-time dynamic failover. Enabling ELB routes requests contextually based on location, device, or network, along with optional rules you specify.

This behavior specifies the data center's origin, and needs to be paired in the same rule with at least one edge_load_balancing_data_center behavior, which provides details about a particular data center. An origin is an abstraction that helps group a logical set of a website or application. It potentially includes information about many data centers and cloud providers, as well as many end points or IP addresses for each data center. To specify an ELB origin, you need to have configured an origin behavior whose type is set to elb_origin_group.

Option	Type	Description	Requires
`id`	string	Specifies a unique descriptive string for this ELB origin. The value needs to match the `origin_id` specified by the `edge_load_balancing_data_center` behavior associated with this origin.		{"displayType":"string","tag":"input","type":"text"}
`description`	string	Provides a description for the ELB origin, for your own reference.		{"displayType":"string","tag":"input","type":"text"}
`hostname`	string	Specifies the hostname associated with the ELB rule.		{"displayType":"string","tag":"input","type":"text"}
`enable_session_persistence`	boolean	Allows you to specify a cookie to pin the user's browser session to one data center. When disabled, ELB's default load balancing may send users to various data centers within the same session.		{"displayType":"boolean","tag":"input","type":"checkbox"}
`cookie_name`	string	This specifies the name of the cookie that marks users' persistent sessions. The accompanying `edge_load_balancing_data_center` behavior's `description` option specifies the cookie's value.	`enable_session_persistence` is `true`	{"displayType":"string","tag":"input","type":"text"} {"if":{"attribute":"enableSessionPersistence","op":"eq","value":true}}
