How do I configure probes in Kubernetes?

In Kubernetes, you can configure probes using liveness and readiness probes in your pod specifications. Would you like to see an example?

Yes, please provide an example of a liveness probe.

Sure! Here's a simple example of a liveness probe:

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

This checks the /healthz endpoint every 10 seconds after an initial delay of 30 seconds.

What about a readiness probe?

A readiness probe can be configured similarly. Here's an example:

readinessProbe:
  tcpSocket:
    port: 8080
  initialDelaySeconds: 5
  periodSeconds: 5

This checks if the application is ready to accept traffic.
