Applications can sometimes become unresponsive and stuck in a transient status such as creating, updating, autoscaling, or stopping. This is often due to misconfigurations that cause the application to become unhealthy. You can use the RollbackApplication API when your application is in the updating or autoscaling statuses to maintain your application’s uptime. In addition, ListApplicationVersions and DescribeApplicationVersion APIs can be used to retrieve information about all application versions, including those that were rolled back. You can use the Troubleshooting Guide for best practices to help you avoid and mitigate unresponsive applications.
