Subject: Use healthchecks in docker-compose
X-Git-Url: https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f47a27e7090141102738a0d8d30fad261876b8b8;p=policy%2Fdocker.git

Use healthchecks in docker-compose

- Ensure all containers have healthchecks in docker-compose
- Use docker-compose --wait instead of wait-for-ports.sh
- Remove hardcoded sleep timers in start-compose.sh

Issue-ID: POLICY-5534
Change-Id: I51a37c719f6c483edaa8249caf441f7c7ba6c8f0
