 The maximum time allowed to complete the healthcheck before an interval is considered failed. Like start-period, the
 value can be expressed in a time format such as **1m22s**. The default value is **30s**.
+
+Note: A timeout marks the healthcheck as failed. If the healthcheck command itself runs longer than the specified *timeout*,
+it will be sent a `SIGKILL` signal.
