+short_description: Create, Update or Destroy a Healthcheck.
+description:
+    - Create, Update or Destroy a Healthcheck. Currently only HTTP and
+      HTTPS Healthchecks are supported. Healthchecks are used to monitor
+      individual instances, managed instance groups and/or backend
+      services. Healtchecks are reusable.
+    - Visit
+      U(https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/health-checks)
+      for an overview of Healthchecks on GCP.
+    - See
+      U(https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/httpHealthChecks) for
+      API details on HTTP Healthchecks.
+    - See
+      U(https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/httpsHealthChecks)
+      for more details on the HTTPS Healtcheck API.
+requirements:
+  - "python >= 2.6"
+  - "google-api-python-client >= 1.6.2"
+  - "google-auth >= 0.9.0"
+  - "google-auth-httplib2 >= 0.0.2"
+notes:
+  - Only supports HTTP and HTTPS Healthchecks currently.
