gRPC and GCP healthcheck

[Asaf David]

Hi, a question regarding health check - my service is running in GCP, and needs to respond to GCP healthchecks which are one of TCP, HTTP, H2 but not gRPC. is there any way to make it talk with a HC service that implements the gRPC HC protocol? I have envoy sidecar if that's helpful (I see that envoy has ability to HC gRPC cluster but i'm not sure if i can leverage it).

thanks

Unfortunately, GCP does not currently support gRPC health checks.  However, until that is fixed, you may be able to use something like this:
