It verifies that instances respond correctly and within expected time limits. If a backend fails the health check, traffic is automatically redirected to healthy instances, ensuring high availability and reliability of applications. ``` gcp.compute_https_health_check ``` ## Fields | Title | ID | Type | Data Type | Description | | -------------------- | ---- | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | _key | core | string | | ancestors | core | array | | check_interval_sec | core | int64 | How often (in seconds) to send a health check.
