In a Kubernetes pod, if the readiness probe fails sporadically but the liveness probe consistently succeeds, what will Kubernetes do regarding traffic routing and container restarts?

Kubernetes - Health Checks and Probes

AKeep routing traffic to the pod regardless of readiness probe status

BRestart the container immediately upon readiness probe failure

CRemove the pod from service endpoints temporarily without restarting the container

DRestart the container only if both readiness and liveness probes fail

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand readiness probe role
The readiness probe determines if a pod is ready to receive traffic. If it fails, Kubernetes removes the pod from service endpoints.
Step 2: Understand liveness probe role
The liveness probe checks if the container is alive. If it passes, Kubernetes does not restart the container.
Final Answer:
Remove the pod from service endpoints temporarily without restarting the container -> Option C
Quick Check:
Readiness failure affects traffic, not restarts [OK]

Quick Trick: Readiness failure stops traffic, liveness failure triggers restart [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming readiness probe failure causes container restart
Confusing readiness and liveness probe purposes
Believing traffic continues despite readiness probe failure
