This is a default-backend server powered by Nginx. It's purpuse is to serve as a default backend for an ALB default target group with the terraform-aws-alb module , much the way a nginx-default-backend is used with ingress controllers for kubernetes.
The default backend is an HTTP service that handles all URL paths and hosts that the ALB does not understand (i.e., all the requests that are not mapped with an Ingress).
Basically, a default backend responds to two URLs:
/healthzthat returns 200/that returns 404
This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.
It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.
Example of the default 404 status page returned by backend
docker run -p 1234:80 clouposse/default-backend:latest
