Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Analyze pod restart cause
Repeated restarts often indicate the liveness probe fails and triggers pod restarts.Step 2: Consider startup timing
If the app takes time to start, the liveness probe may fail before the app is ready.Final Answer:
The liveness probe is failing because the application is not ready yet -> Option AQuick Check:
Check initialDelaySeconds in liveness probe [OK]
Quick Trick: Liveness probe failing early causes pod restarts [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Assuming resource limits cause immediate restarts
- Confusing readiness probe issues with liveness probe failures
- Ignoring probe timing configurations
