Microservices - Orchestration with Kubernetes

Given this Kubernetes pod spec snippet, what will happen if the readiness probe fails continuously?

readinessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /ready
    port: 8080
  initialDelaySeconds: 5
  periodSeconds: 10
  failureThreshold: 3

AThe pod will be restarted immediately

BThe pod will be marked as not ready and removed from service endpoints

CThe pod will ignore the failure and continue serving traffic

DThe pod will scale up automatically

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand readiness probe failure effect
Readiness probe failure marks pod as not ready, so it stops receiving traffic.
Step 2: Differentiate from liveness probe effect
Liveness probe failure triggers pod restart, readiness does not.
Final Answer:
The pod will be marked as not ready and removed from service endpoints -> Option B
Quick Check:
Readiness failure = pod not ready, no restart [OK]

Quick Trick: Readiness failure removes pod from load balancer, no restart [OK]
