@Marvin my container which is doing .serve() on GCP is failing healthchecks on port 8080, how do I fix that?

It sounds like you're having issues with a containerized application on Google Cloud Platform that is running a
.serve()
command, but it's failing the health checks on port 8080. The Prefect version might influence this solution, so if you're using Prefect, could you confirm whether you're on Prefect 2.x or 3.x? Let's see some common troubleshooting steps while you confirm that information: 1. Verify Application Listening Port: Ensure that your application is indeed listening on port 8080. You can test this by running the container locally and checking the exposed ports. 2. Container Configuration: Ensure your container is correctly configured to expose port 8080. This typically involves setting the
EXPOSE 8080
command in your Dockerfile. 3. GCP Firewall Rules: Check your Google Cloud Platform firewall settings to make sure that port 8080 is allowed for ingress traffic. 4. Health Check Configuration: Make sure the health checks are configured correctly in GCP. This includes using the correct path that the health check hits (e.g.,
/health
), and the expected response (typically a
200 OK
status). 5. Logs and Errors: Check the logs for any error messages that might provide insight into why the server process is failing the health checks. Please let me know about the Prefect version, or if none of the above apply, and we can delve into specifics, potentially utilizing documentation or GitHub issues for more tailored advice.
