The initialization time needed for a container to bootstrap. The value can be expressed in time format like 2m3s. The default value is 0s.

Note: The health check command is executed as soon as a container is started, if the health check is successful the container's health state will be updated to healthy. However, if the health check fails, the health state will stay as starting until either the health check is successful or until the << 'HealthStartPeriod=' if is_quadlet else '--health-start-period' >> time is over. If the health check command fails after the << 'HealthStartPeriod=' if is_quadlet else '--health-start-period' >> time is over, the health state will be updated to unhealthy. The health check command is executed periodically based on the value of << 'HealthInterval=' if is_quadlet else '--health-interval' >>.

Note: This parameter will overwrite related healthcheck configuration from the image.
