Kubernetes - Health Checks and Probes

Given this probe configuration snippet in a pod spec:

livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /status
    port: 8080
  initialDelaySeconds: 10
  periodSeconds: 5

What will Kubernetes do after the pod starts?

ASend an HTTP GET to /status only once after 10 seconds

BSend an HTTP GET to /status immediately, then every 10 seconds

CWait 5 seconds, then send an HTTP GET to /status every 10 seconds

DWait 10 seconds, then send an HTTP GET to /status every 5 seconds

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand initialDelaySeconds
This value tells Kubernetes to wait 10 seconds after pod start before first probe.
Step 2: Understand periodSeconds
This value sets the interval between probes, here every 5 seconds.
Final Answer:
Wait 10 seconds, then send an HTTP GET to /status every 5 seconds -> Option D
Quick Check:
initialDelaySeconds = wait, periodSeconds = repeat interval [OK]

Quick Trick: initialDelaySeconds = wait before first probe, periodSeconds = probe interval [OK]
