A Network Load Balancer Whose Services Check the Application

A service's health check can be a TCP handshake that a process which stopped serving still passes; an NLB fronts instance pools rather than instances; and it is layer 4, so no listener certificate exists and the one you look for lives on the instances. HTTP or HTTPS checks on a path with TCP accepted by name, a pool per service, and an output that says TLS is not terminated here.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Nothing else in the catalogue covers load balancing on Exoscale. If this module is not the right shape, the closest options are on other clouds.
