I am using a health-check URL to allow Elastic Beanstalk to poll the health of my instances. I would like traffic to be distributed according to some internal state of each instance. Currently I just return status 200.

Can I send detailed health information, e.g. a "health score" that the load-balancer will use to direct users more intelligently?

  • EBS is elastic block store, it doesn't poll anything. If you mean ELB you should update your question.

ELB attempts to route traffic to the least loaded server, but you cannot weight them. If you need that function you'll need to use a software load balancer, but ELB is probably going to be more reliable and scalable.

The AWS documentation is not very precise in this area.

Reference this question which is fairly exhaustive.
