Configuring health probes in orchestrators

Monitoring is not unique to orchestrators, as we have already established. There are services that offer monitoring services for our applications and allow us to configure probes into our applications. These services generally allow us to add alerts and configure response time thresholds. These alerts can come in handy in helping us to respond to failures or situations of concern based on our configured thresholds.

In a microservices application, we need a way of monitoring many services as efficiently as possible. The fewer unique configurations we need to do, the better. We have several deployment models that can be used, and most predominantly, containers managed by orchestrators. Microsoft Azure has several web application deployment models, including Web App for Containers (WAC), Azure Container Instances (ACI), and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

WAC is a part of App Service, so the health check works the same way as it would for...
