Hey team, I'd love to see readiness checks added to stack! While the LBs do a good job of assessing latency for packets; they truly can't tell if a a container is in trouble and 'just needs a moment to process/recover'. A readiness check is a method to tell the deployment manager (don't reboot me, but I need a second, stop talking to me). The readiness check is separate from the health check (which is really a liveness check) - as it purely indicates if the instance can serve traffic at the moment.

We all need a moment to compose ourselves sometimes, so do our instances.. Give them a fighting chance!
