type

The type of health check that you want to create, which indicates how Route 53 determines whether an endpoint is healthy.

You can't change the value of Type after you create a health check.

You can create the following types of health checks:

• HTTP: Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If successful, Route 53 submits an HTTP request and waits for an HTTP status code of 200 or greater and less than 400.

• HTTPS: Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If successful, Route 53 submits an HTTPS request and waits for an HTTP status code of 200 or greater and less than 400.If you specify HTTPS for the value of Type, the endpoint must support TLS v1.0 or later.

• TCP: Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection.If you specify TCP for Type, don't specify a value for ResourcePath.
