Improve Application Availability by Configuring Kubernetes Liveness & Readiness Probe

Pallavi Priya Patharlagadda

Abstract: Because of Kubernetes' extraordinary flexibility, enterprises can simply install, scale, and manage production-grade, containerized workloads. Teams must navigate a lot of foreign terminology and technology in addition to tremendous complexity as a result of this flexibility. When deploying mature applications to Kubernetes, there are two phrases you should be aware of: readiness probe and liveness probe. To find out if a container is still running and responsive, we will cover using a liveness probe in Kubernetes clusters in this guide.

Keywords: Kubernetes, containerized workloads, readiness probe, liveness probe, application deployment
