Tips for slow-starting containers

SCE attempts to estimate the maximum time the probe can run before resulting in a failure, based on the values in the fields above. This guidance is provided below the Configure button. If you expect your container often takes longer than this to start, you should adjust the thresholds in the fields above to ensure that you're not prematurely reallocating containers that could have reached a successful status.
