+OOM Deployment
+--------------
+
+    In OOM deployments DCAE healthcheck are reported by separate  service - dcae-healthcheck; this is deployment of org.onap.dcaegen2.deployments.healthcheck-container which is built from dcaegen2/deployment repo - healthcheck-container module. The container includes list of deployments done in DCAE  (both via helm charts and Cloudify) for which periodic health check is performed. For helm deployed component - servicename defined is charts are used and for cloudify, the deployments identified in bootstrap are prefixed with release name. The container itself is deployed via helm charts (oom/kubernetes/dcaegen2/charts/dcae-healthcheck). This polls the deployments specified periodically and reports the status. The service can be queried for status as below.
