Resolving Reliability Issues in Kubernetes
Explore how to resolve reliability problems in Kubernetes by diagnosing and fixing liveness and readiness probe errors. Understand how proper probe configuration helps maintain healthy containers and ensures uninterrupted application operation.
We'll cover the following...
Overview
Reliability in Kubernetes is paramount for ensuring the uninterrupted operation of containerized applications. Two critical mechanisms to achieve this are the liveness probe and readiness probe:
Liveness probe: Is a Kubernetes health check that determines whether a container is running properly. If the probe fails, Kubernetes restarts the container, helping maintain application availability.
Readiness probe: Ensures that a container is ready to receive traffic. When a container isn’t ready (probe fails), Kubernetes removes it from service, preventing traffic until it becomes healthy.
These probes are essential for self-healing and load balancing, enhancing application resilience in ...
