Description: Instance Health Check is a fundamental process in the realm of cloud computing that assesses the operational status of a virtual machine instance. This mechanism allows administrators and automated systems to determine whether an instance is functioning correctly or if it has issues that could affect its performance. The check is performed by executing specific tests that may include verifying network connectivity, resource availability, and the responsiveness of applications running on the instance. If a problem is detected, the system can take automatic actions, such as restarting the instance or redirecting traffic to other healthy instances, thus ensuring service continuity. This process is essential for maintaining high availability and resilience of cloud applications, enabling organizations to minimize downtime and optimize end-user experience. Instance Health Check integrates with other cloud tools and services, facilitating efficient and proactive management and monitoring of cloud infrastructures.
