- If you delete the Container Registry namespace associated with a Serverless Containers namespace, it will be created again when deploying a container within this Serverless Containers namespace.

### How can I call my containers periodically?

Scaleway Serverless Containers natively support CRON triggers to call your containers periodically. This feature has many applications, such as scheduled data processing, maintenance tasks, monitoring, or reporting.

Periodic CRON triggers also allow you to maintain your containers active during specific time slots to reduce cold start latency, without having to provision a minimum of 1 vCPU at all times.

Refer to the [dedicated documentation](/serverless-containers/how-to/add-trigger-to-a-container/) for more information on how to create CRON triggers for your containers.

To learn more about how CRONs work, refer to our [CRON schedule reference documentation](/serverless-containers/reference-content/cron-schedules/).

### How do Serverless Containers health checks work ?

A Serverless Container is set to `ready` once the specified port is correctly bound to the container, and will start receiving traffic. If your application needs to perform some tasks before receiving traffic (e.g. connect to a database), it is important to run them before binding to the port (starting the webserver).
