Expected Behavior

When the HealthCheck type is Recovery Control, it is expected that unnecessary properties should not be included in the HealthCheckConfig property of AWS::Route53::HealthCheck in the CloudFormation template generated from CDK code.

Current Behavior

When the HealthCheck type is Recovery Control, properties such as FailureThreshold, RequestInterval, and MeasureLatency are output to the CloudFormation template with default values, even though they are not explicitly specified in the CDK code.

Reproduction Steps

It can be reproduced with the following code:

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';

const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'Stack');

const cluster = new cdk.aws_route53recoverycontrol.CfnCluster(stack, 'Cluster', {
  name: 'cluster',
});

const controlPanel = new cdk.aws_route53recoverycontrol.CfnControlPanel(stack, 'ControlPanel', {
  name: 'control-panel',
  clusterArn: cluster.attrClusterArn,
});

const routingControl = new cdk.aws_route53recoverycontrol.CfnRoutingControl(stack, 'RoutingControl', {
  name: 'routing-control',
  clusterArn: cluster.attrClusterArn,
  controlPanelArn: controlPanel.attrControlPanelArn,
});

const healthCheck = new cdk.aws_route53.HealthCheck(stack, 'HealthCheck', {
  type: cdk.aws_route53.HealthCheckType.RECOVERY_CONTROL,
  routingControl: routingControl.attrRoutingControlArn,
});

Possible Solution

In health-check.ts, if HealthCheck type is Recovery Control, return undefined as default value for previous 3 properties (FailureThreshold, RequestInterval, and MeasureLatency).

The following codes will need to be modified to return undefined when health check type is RECOVERY_CONTROL:

Additional Information/Context

Currently this problem can be avoided with an escape hatches as follows.

const cfnHealthCheck = healthCheck.node.defaultChild as cdk.aws_route53.CfnHealthCheck;
cfnHealthCheck.addPropertyDeletionOverride('HealthCheckConfig.FailureThreshold');
cfnHealthCheck.addPropertyDeletionOverride('HealthCheckConfig.RequestInterval');
cfnHealthCheck.addPropertyDeletionOverride('HealthCheckConfig.MeasureLatency');
