Question 570
In an AWS networking assessment, an ALB target group stays unhealthy even though its EC2 instances are running and can reach the internet. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Instance running state is distinct from the health check HTTP response required by the target group. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that targets become healthy when the designated health endpoint returns an expected response.
Incorrect Answers
The source identity visible to a target can differ based on transport and load-balancing configuration. The decisive technical distinction is an ALB health check evaluates target responses on the configured protocol, port, and path; instance running state is distinct from the health check HTTP response required by the target group.
Sticky sessions influence load distribution but do not replace external durable session storage. The reported evidence instead concerns an ALB health check evaluates target responses on the configured protocol, port, and path: instance running state is distinct from the health check HTTP response required by the target group.
Deregistering a target can allow in-flight work to finish rather than immediately interrupting every request. For the stated conditions, instance running state is distinct from the health check HTTP response required by the target group. The more specific mechanism is an ALB health check evaluates target responses on the configured protocol, port, and path.
