Spring Boot - Docker and Deployment

You want to configure a Docker health check for your Spring Boot container that attempts the health endpoint 5 times with 10 seconds interval before marking the container unhealthy. Which Dockerfile snippet correctly implements this?

AHEALTHCHECK --timeout=10s --start-period=5s CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/actuator/health || exit 1

BHEALTHCHECK --interval=10s --retries=5 CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/actuator/health || exit 1

CHEALTHCHECK --interval=5s --retries=10 CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/actuator/health || exit 1

DHEALTHCHECK --start-period=10s --timeout=5s CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/actuator/health || exit 1

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand Docker HEALTHCHECK options
--interval sets time between checks; --retries sets max failures before unhealthy.
Step 2: Match requirements
5 retries with 10 seconds interval matches --interval=10s --retries=5.
Step 3: Verify command correctness
Using curl -f with exit 1 is correct.
Final Answer:
HEALTHCHECK --interval=10s --retries=5 CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/actuator/health || exit 1 -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use --interval and --retries to control health check timing [OK]

Quick Trick: Use --interval=10s and --retries=5 for desired health check [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Confusing timeout with interval
Setting retries or interval to wrong values
Omitting retries leading to default behavior
