Health & Status

Each config item has attributes used to determine the health and status of an item.

• health can be one of healthy, unhealthy, unknown, warning and corresponds with RAG (Red, Amber, Green) status that is associated with an item
• status is a config type specific short description of the current running state e.g. Running, Terminating, in-use
• ready indicates whether an item is still progressing

Health is orthogonal to readiness

A config item could have a state of heath: unhealthy, status: failed, ready: true - this indicates that the item is unlikely to change its state, while an item of health: healthy, status: rolling-out, ready: false indicates a healthy item that has not yet finished rolling out.

The github.com/flanksource/is-healthy is used to derive these conditions.
