Envoy starts up and if its can_healthcheck option in the static // bootstrap config is enabled, sends HealthCheckRequest to the management // server.

In response to (1), the management server designates this Envoy as a // healthchecker to health check a subset of all upstream hosts for a given // cluster (for example upstream Host 1 and Host 2). It streams // HealthCheckSpecifier messages with cluster related configuration for all // clusters this Envoy is designated to health check. Subsequent // HealthCheckSpecifier message will be sent on changes to: // a. Endpoints to health checks // b. Per cluster configuration change // 3. Envoy creates a health probe based on the HealthCheck config and sends // it to endpoint(ip:port) of Host 1 and 2. Based on the HealthCheck // configuration Envoy waits upon the arrival of the probe response and // looks at the content of the response to decide whether the endpoint is // healthy or not. If a response hasn’t been received within the timeout // interval, the endpoint health status is considered TIMEOUT. // 4. Envoy reports results back in an EndpointHealthResponse message. // Envoy streams responses as often as the interval configured by the // management server in HealthCheckSpecifier. // 5. The management Server collects health statuses for all endpoints in the // cluster (for all clusters) and uses this information to construct // EndpointDiscoveryResponse messages. // 6. Once Envoy has a list of upstream endpoints to send traffic to, it load // balances traffic to them without additional health checking. It may // use inline healthcheck (i.e. consider endpoint UNHEALTHY if connection // failed to a particular endpoint to account for health status propagation // delay between HDS and EDS). // By default, can_healthcheck is true.
