Elastic Load Balancer Does Not Have Connection Draining Enabled

Overview​

This check assesses whether Classic Load Balancers have activated connection draining. Enabling connection draining guarantees that the load balancer ceases forwarding requests to instances undergoing de-registration or deemed unhealthy, maintaining continuity for existing connections.

This feature proves especially beneficial for instances within Auto Scaling groups, preventing the abrupt termination of connections.
