How do I configure health checks in Kubernetes?

To configure health checks in Kubernetes, you can use liveness and readiness probes in your pod specifications.

What are the differences between liveness and readiness probes?

Liveness probes check if your application is running, while readiness probes determine if it's ready to handle traffic.

Can you give me an example of a liveness probe configuration?

Sure! Here's an example:

livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /healthz
    port: 8080
  initialDelaySeconds: 30
  periodSeconds: 10

How can I test if my health checks are working?

You can test health checks by deploying your application and checking the pod status using kubectl get pods.
