Today, AWS announced the ability to migrate from a Classic Load Balancer to an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer in one step using a console-based migration wizard. The migration wizard makes it very easy to create an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer with a configuration that is equivalent to your Classic Load Balancer. It removes need for step-by-step configuration and enables you to quickly test your application with a new type of load balancer.

After the migration, you can configure the advanced features offered by the new load balancer. You can access the migration wizard from the Migration tab in the console for a Classic Load Balancer.
