Description

Describe the enhancement
Add ability to setup Dockerized services in parallel.

In my workflow, i have 5 services, and they all pull and run their healthchecks serially.
This takes a very long time, which could easily be sped up by doing the pulling/starting/healthchecking in parallel.
