Description

We're using NewRelic monitoring for health checks, which sometimes can be inaccurate for low traffic sites.

Route53 has their own free health check for AWS services, so we can add that to the ingress setup.

Research direction

Start by locating the Terraform ingress setup and its existing NewRelic health-check configuration. Review the AWS Route53 health-check requirements and determine how the check should be represented in the ingress modules; done means the ingress uses a Route53 health check for AWS services instead of relying only on NewRelic.
