Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to create a Route 53 health check that monitors an HTTP endpoint.

AWS

resource "aws_route53_health_check" "example" {
  fqdn              = "example.com"
  type              = "[1]"
  resource_path     = "/health"
  failure_threshold = 3
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using HTTPS when the endpoint is not secured.

Using TCP which only checks port availability.

The type must be set to HTTP to monitor an HTTP endpoint.

medium

Complete the code to specify the IP address for a Route 53 health check.

AWS

resource "aws_route53_health_check" "example" {
  ip_address        = "[1]"
  type              = "TCP"
  port              = 80
  failure_threshold = 3
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a domain name instead of an IP address.

Using invalid IP formats like subnet masks.

The ip_address must be a valid IPv4 address like 192.168.1.1.

Fix the error in the health check configuration to correctly monitor HTTPS with a string match.

AWS

resource "aws_route53_health_check" "example" {
  fqdn              = "example.com"
  type              = "[1]"
  resource_path     = "/status"
  search_string     = "Healthy"
  failure_threshold = 3
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using HTTPS without string match when a search string is specified.

Using TCP which does not support string matching.

To monitor HTTPS with a string match, the type must be HTTPS_STR_MATCH.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a health check that monitors an HTTP endpoint on port 8080 with a failure threshold of 5.

AWS

resource "aws_route53_health_check" "example" {
  fqdn              = "example.com"
  type              = "[1]"
  port              = [2]
  failure_threshold = 5
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using HTTPS type with port 8080 without SSL.

Using default port 80 instead of 8080.

The type should be HTTP and the port should be 8080 to monitor the correct endpoint.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a health check that monitors HTTPS on port 443, checks the path '/healthcheck', and uses a failure threshold of 4.

AWS

resource "aws_route53_health_check" "example" {
  fqdn              = "example.com"
  type              = "[1]"
  port              = [2]
  resource_path     = "[3]"
  failure_threshold = 4
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using port 80 with HTTPS.

Using wrong resource path.

Using HTTP type instead of HTTPS.

The type is HTTPS, the port is 443, and the resource_path is /healthcheck to monitor the correct HTTPS endpoint.
