Efficient AWS Load Balancer Setup
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I'm in need of a freelancer to configure an Elastic Application Load Balancer (ALB) for my AWS environment. My current setup consists exclusively of EC2 instances which are crucial for running my application.
**Core Requirements:**
- **Health Monitoring:** I want to implement HTTP/S health checks to monitor the status of my EC2 instances. This method should efficiently determine whether an instance is fit to handle requests or should be bypassed until it's back online.
- **Re-routing Traffic:** In the event of an instance going offline or failing a health check, traffic should be seamlessly redirected to another healthy instance without any user impact.
** Additional Context**
1. We have an EC2 instance with an Nginx container (docker)
2. This container routes traffic to a third party hosting service for our homepage only. Other routes are forwarded to other containers on the EC2 instance.
3. If the NGINX container goes offline, then we are unable to forward traffic to the third party serivce. **This is the problem to solve**.
