Description

This check assesses whether load balancers (Application, Network, or Gateway) are configured to operate across at least two Availability Zones (AZs). Load balancers can be set up to distribute traffic across Amazon EC2 instances within either a single Availability Zone or multiple Availability Zones. If a load balancer is not configured to span multiple Availability Zones, it cannot redirect traffic to targets in a different Availability Zone if the sole configured AZ becomes unavailable.

Remediation

To add an Availability Zone to an Application Load Balancer, see Availability Zones for your Application Load Balancer. To add an Availability Zone to a Network Load Balancer, see Network Load Balancers. To add an Availability Zone to a Gateway Load Balancer, see Create a Gateway Load Balancer.
