### Changeable properties:

* algorithm
* protocol
* health\_check
* http\_health\_check
* targets

## Examples

### To list resources:

```bash

```

> ***NOTE:*** If two resources have the same name only one of them will be shown.

### To create, update or delete a resource:

```ruby
target_group { 'puppet_module_test6f2nfctjrfqwfpmpamvpsjfewqfwqfqfwqd':
ensure              => absent,
  algorithm         => 'LEAST_CONNECTION',
  protocol          => 'HTTP',
  health_check      => {
    check_timeout  => 60,
    check_interval => 1400,
    retries        => 3,
  },
  http_health_check => {
    match_type => 'STATUS_CODE',
    response   => '202',
    path       => '/.',
    method     => 'GET',
  },
  targets           => [
    {
