+description:
+    - Used to register or deregister a target in a target group
+version_added: "2.5"
+author: "Rob White (@wimnat)"
+options:
+  deregister_unused:
+    description:
+      - The default behaviour for targets that are unused is to leave them registered. If instead you would like to remove them
+        set I(deregister_unused) to yes.
+    choices: [ 'yes', 'no' ]
+  target_az:
+    description:
+      - An Availability Zone or all. This determines whether the target receives traffic from the load balancer nodes in the specified
+        Availability Zone or from all enabled Availability Zones for the load balancer. This parameter is not supported if the target
+        type of the target group is instance.
+  target_group_arn:
+    description:
+      - The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the target group. Mutually exclusive of I(target_group_name).
+  target_group_name:
+    description:
+      - The name of the target group. Mutually exclusive of I(target_group_arn).
+  target_id:
+    description:
+      - The ID of the target.
+    required: true
+  target_port:
+    description:
+      - The port on which the target is listening. You can specify a port override. If a target is already registered,
+        you can register it again using a different port.
+    required: false
+    default: The default port for a target is the port for the target group.
+  target_status:
+    description:
+      - Blocks and waits for the target status to equal given value. For more detail on target status see
+        U(http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/target-group-health-checks.html#target-health-states)
+    required: false
+    choices: [ 'initial', 'healthy', 'unhealthy', 'unused', 'draining', 'unavailable' ]
+  target_status_timeout:
+    description:
+      - Maximum time in seconds to wait for target_status change
+    required: false
+    default: 60
+  state:
+    description:
+      - Register or deregister the target.
+    required: true
+    choices: [ 'present', 'absent' ]
+extends_documentation_fragment:
+    - aws
+    - ec2
+notes:
+  - If you specified a port override when you registered a target, you must specify both the target ID and the port when you deregister it.
