It's purpuse is to serve as a default backend for an ALB default target group with the [`terraform-aws-alb`](https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-alb) module\t, much the way a [`nginx-default-backend`](https://github.com/cloudposse/charts/blob/master/incubator/nginx-default-backend/) is used with ingress controllers for kubernetes.\n\nThe 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).\n\nBasically, a default backend responds to two URLs:\n\n- `/healthz` that returns 200\n- `/` that returns 404\n\n\n---\n\nThis project is part of our comprehensive [\"SweetOps\"](https://docs.cloudposse.com) approach towards DevOps. \n\n\nIt's 100% Open Source and licensed under the [APACHE2](LICENSE).\n\n\n\n\n## Screenshots\n\n\n![Demo](docs/demo.png)\n*Example of the default 404 status page returned by backend*\n\n\n## Usage\n\n```\ndocker run -p 1234:80 clouposse/default-backend:latest\n```\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## Related Projects\n\nCheck out these related projects.\n\n- [terraform-aws-alb](https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-alb) - Terraform module to provision a standard ALB for HTTP/HTTP traffic\n- [terraform-aws-alb-ingress](https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-alb-ingress) - Terraform module to provision an HTTP style ingress rule based on hostname and path for an ALB using target groups\n- [terraform-aws-ecs-web-app](https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-ecs-web-app) - Terraform module that implements a web app on ECS and supporting AWS resources.\n\n\n\n## Help\n\n**Got a question?**\n\nFile a GitHub [issue](https://github.com/cloudposse/default-backend/issues), send us an [email][email] or join our [Slack Community][slack].\n\n## Commerical Support\n\nWork directly with our team of DevOps experts via email, slack, and video conferencing. \n\nWe provide *commercial support* for all of our [Open Source][github] projects.
