 ** targetGroupIdentifier **   <a name="vpclattice-Type-WeightedTargetGroup-targetGroupIdentifier"></a>
The ID or ARN of the target group.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 17. Maximum length of 2048.  
Pattern: `((tg-[0-9a-z]{17})|(arn:[a-z0-9\-]+:vpc-lattice:[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+:\d{12}:targetgroup/tg-[0-9a-z]{17}))`   
Required: Yes

 ** weight **   <a name="vpclattice-Type-WeightedTargetGroup-weight"></a>
Only required if you specify multiple target groups for a forward action. The weight determines how requests are distributed to the target group. For example, if you specify two target groups, each with a weight of 10, each target group receives half the requests. If you specify two target groups, one with a weight of 10 and the other with a weight of 20, the target group with a weight of 20 receives twice as many requests as the other target group. If there's only one target group specified, then the default value is 100.  
Type: Integer  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 999.  
Required: No
