GCE Ingress not picking up health check from readiness probe

Question

When I create a GCE ingress, Google Load Balancer does not set the health check from the readiness probe. According to the docs (Ingress GCE health checks) it should pick it up.

Expose an arbitrary URL as a readiness probe on the pods backing the Service.

Any ideas why?

So apparently, you need to include the container port on the PodSpec. Does not seem to be documented anywhere.

e.g.

    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:1.7.9
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80
