A county permitting app on Elastic Beanstalk ships a new version to staging. Health checks fail before anyone discusses a DNS cutover. What should the team do first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Staging is the dress rehearsal—if the costume tears, you do not walk onto the main stage. Failed Beanstalk health checks mean roll back there and stop any cutover talk. Flipping DNS early or marking Healthy by hand just hides the fire.
Full Explanation
Elastic Beanstalk environment health checks are intended to validate a candidate version before production traffic moves. When staging health checks fail, the correct developer response is to roll back or fix in the non-production environment rather than advancing DNS or overriding health. Manual Healthy flags and laptop-to-production deploys bypass the deployment-testing gate Domain 3 expects.
