Control: Unnecessary health checks should be deleted
Description
When you associate health checks with an endpoint, health check requests are sent to the endpoint's IP address. These health check requests are sent to validate that the requests are operating as intended. Health check charges are incurred based on their associated endpoints. To avoid health check charges, delete any health checks that aren't used with an RRset record and are no longer required.

powerpipe control run aws_thrifty.control.route53_health_check_unusedSnapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
