No HEALTHCHECK defined

Description#

The Docker container image lacks a HEALTHCHECK instruction, which means the container orchestration platform cannot automatically monitor and detect if the application inside the container becomes unhealthy.

Impact#

Without a HEALTHCHECK, failed or unresponsive containers may go undetected, leading to degraded service availability and delayed recovery. This can result in prolonged downtime and increased operational risk, as unhealthy containers are not automatically restarted or replaced.

Resolution#

Add HEALTHCHECK instruction in Dockerfile
