Kubernetes - Production Best Practices

Given this Kubernetes pod spec snippet, what happens if the container crashes?

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

ANothing happens; the container keeps running.

BThe pod is deleted permanently.

CKubernetes restarts the container after failing the health check.

DKubernetes scales the pod to zero replicas.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand liveness probe behavior
Liveness probe checks container health and triggers restart if it fails.
Step 2: Apply to container crash scenario
If container crashes, health check fails, so Kubernetes restarts it automatically.
Final Answer:
Kubernetes restarts the container after failing the health check. -> Option C
Quick Check:
Liveness failure = container restart [OK]

Quick Trick: Liveness probe failure triggers container restart [OK]
