My website returns a status code of 200 OK even when the server crashes or freezes. I was hunting for a failover solution on AWS and came across Elastic Disaster Recovery Service. It can manually initiate failover, but in order to automate the procedure in the event of a crash, I'm seeking for feasible customized solutions for a website health check. Webserver is in EC2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
- Cannot use load balancer because enterprise license is limited to 1 instance.
- Tried DNS failover method, but it was unreliable.
