GCP Compute Health Check
A GCP Compute Health Check is a monitored probe that periodically tests the reachability and responsiveness of Google Cloud resources—such as VM instances, managed instance groups, or back-ends behind a load balancer—and reports their health status. These checks allow Google Cloud’s load balancers and auto-healing mechanisms to route traffic only to healthy instances, improving service reliability and availability. You can configure different protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, SSL, or HTTP/2), thresholds, and time-outs to suit your workload’s requirements.
