Ensure HTTP HTTPS Target group defines Healthcheck

Description

This policy checks whether an HTTP/HTTPS target group in a load balancer defines a health check. Health checks are crucial for ensuring the availability and responsiveness of backend instances. Without a health check, the load balancer may continue to route traffic to unhealthy instances, leading to service disruptions. By defining a health check, you can ensure that only healthy instances receive traffic, maintaining the overall health and reliability of your application.

Code Example

resource "ncloud_lb_target_group" "example" {
  protocol = "HTTP"
  health_check {
    url_path = "/healthcheck"
    # other health check properties...
  }
}

Remediation

Define a health check for the target group with a valid URL path.
