I came across an interesting change - [Introduce an unauthenticated endpoint for readiness checks by grcevski · Pull Request #84375 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/84375)

I wonder if we could use this as readiness check.

Also Kevin, how do you guys manage the readiness check in your clusters?
