Description: Fargate Health Checks are an essential feature that allows Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) users to ensure that their tasks are running correctly. These checks are configurable and allow verification of the status of applications running in containers, ensuring they are operational and responding appropriately. By implementing these checks, developers can define specific criteria that determine whether a task is healthy or not, based on parameters such as HTTP response, response time, or service availability. If a task fails the health check, Fargate can automatically restart it, contributing to the resilience and stability of applications. This functionality is especially relevant in production environments, where continuous availability is critical. Health checks not only help maintain application performance but also facilitate the identification of issues before they affect end users, allowing for proactive resource management and an overall better customer experience.
