AWS ECC Resource Monitoring and Configuration

Route Table scenario (Backend Cluster):

The recovery kit uses AWS CLI to perform the monitoring of the Route Table settings to enable an access from clients within the VPC to the protected IP resources. The recovery kit ensures that the target of the IP resources for all the Route Tables in the VPC is correctly set to the ENI on the active server. Otherwise, the recovery kit performs the EC2™ local recovery process.

Elastic IP scenario (Frontend Cluster):

The recovery kit uses AWS CLI to monitor the association of the Elastic IP with the ENI on the active server. The recovery kit ensures that the Elastic IP is correctly associated with the ENI attached on the active server. Otherwise, the recovery kit performs the EC2™ local recovery process.

*Note: In both scenarios, when a timeout occurs at AWS CLI, no failover will be performed and the resource will remain in ISP state. Only a timeout related message will be logged in the LifeKeeper log. The recovery kit will execute the monitoring once again after a check interval. See the EC2™ Parameters List for more information about how to configure the value for timeout.
