Route53 Health Check

Amazon Route 53 Health Checks are used to monitor the availability and performance of your application endpoints. By configuring health checks, you can ensure that Route 53 only routes traffic to healthy endpoints and can rapidly switch to redundant resources if an endpoint becomes unhealthy. This helps maintain the reliability and performance of your applications. For more detailed information, you can visit the official AWS documentation for Route 53 Health Checks.

Route 53 health checks can be linked to CloudWatch Alarms to provide automated alerting and visibility into the health of your endpoints. By connecting health checks with CloudWatch Alarms, you can receive notifications and take corrective actions whenever a health check status changes, which aids significantly in maintaining system resilience and uptime.
