A Load Balancer that Checks the Application and Redirects HTTP
The default health check is TCP on the backend port, which a process that stopped serving still passes; ssl_redirect defaults to false, so the site stays in clear on 80; and a balancer with no instances is a public address that fails. HTTP checks on a path, redirect on whenever HTTPS exists, backends required, and a Let's Encrypt certificate from auto_ssl_domain rather than a pasted key in state.

Documentation
vultr-load-balancer
A Vultr load balancer that checks the application, redirects HTTP, and has
backends. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), vultr provider
>= 2.0, < 3.0.
The default health check is TCP. HTTP on a path here; TCP needs
accept_tcp_health_check.
ssl_redirect defaults to false. Redirected whenever an HTTPS rule
exists.
No instances is refused, and TLS comes from auto_ssl_domain (Let's
Encrypt, renewed by the platform) rather than a pasted key that lands in
state.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

tencent-clb
A listener's health check is a switch that, off, sends traffic to every target forever; a port-80 listener forwards unless a redirection resource points it at 443; and delete_protect defaults to false. HTTP health checks on a path through listener rules, a 301 from 80 to 443 whenever a certificate is given, deletion protection on, access logs when a CLS topic is given.
huawei-elb
The default TLS policy accepts TLS 1.0; a pool without a monitor resource is never unhealthy and sends traffic to every member forever; an HTTPS listener does nothing about port 80 until an L7 policy redirects it; and deletion protection is off. tls-1-2-strict, an HTTP monitor on a path, a redirect on 80 whenever a certificate is given, two zones unless one is accepted, deletion protection on.
do-load-balancer
The default health check is a TCP handshake, which a process that stopped serving still passes; redirect_http_to_https defaults to false, so the site stays in clear on 80; and a balancer with no tag and no droplets is a public address that 503s. HTTP checks on a path, redirect on whenever HTTPS exists, STRONG ciphers, backends required, and a Let's Encrypt certificate made from your domains.
cloudflare-load-balancer
A pool with no monitor is healthy forever and keeps sending traffic to a dead origin; the fallback pool is required and the easiest value is the same pool that just failed; the notification email that says a pool went down is optional. Every pool uses the module's HTTPS monitor, a fallback that is also a default is refused, an address is told, and the balancer is proxied so origins stay hidden.
ibm-vpc-load-balancer
type defaults to public, so a load balancer created without one gets an internet address; the pool's health check can be a TCP handshake; a port-80 listener forwards unless a listener policy redirects it; and logging is off. Private with public by name, an HTTP check on a path, a 301 policy on 80 whenever a Secrets Manager certificate is given, two subnets unless one is accepted, logging on.
alicloud-alb
The default TLS policy accepts TLS 1.0; a server group's health check can be turned off and then sends traffic to every member forever; an HTTPS listener does nothing about port 80; and deletion protection is off. A TLS 1.2/1.3 policy created and attached, an HTTP health check on a path, a redirect on 80 whenever a certificate exists, two zones unless one is accepted, deletion protection on.
