GCP LoadBalancer - How to Redirect on Failed Health Check

Question

I am currently implementing a blue-green setup in GCE. Essentially what I'm doing is putting an nginx loadbalancer up as a backend to a GCP one, as switching the rules over to hit a different pool in nginx can be done quickly.

If there are no nginx backends available I want to error handle to a custom page held in a bucket but I can't see a clear way to do this with the standard health checks. Has anyone encountered this type of thing before?

Google Load Balancers do not provide a feature for this requirement.

Thank you, I had more or less come to this conclusion. I will add this functionality to the more intelligent proxy / load balancer. – Tom Bradshaw Oct 04 '19 at 15:22
