    10  Note: The health check command is executed as soon as a container is started, if the health check is successful
    11  the container's health state will be updated to `healthy`. However, if the health check fails, the health state will
    12  stay as `starting` until either the health check is successful or until the `--health-start-period` time is over. If the
    13  health check command fails after the `--health-start-period` time is over, the health state will be updated to `unhealthy`.
    14  The health check command is executed periodically based on the value of `--health-interval`.
