What is the purpose of a Kubernetes 'liveness probe,' and how does it differ from a 'readiness probe'?
-
A
A liveness probe restarts a container that has deadlocked; a readiness probe removes a container from load balancer rotation when it cannot serve traffic
-
B
A liveness probe checks if a container is in the load balancer pool; a readiness probe checks if the container process is running
-
C
A liveness probe validates Kubernetes node health; a readiness probe validates pod health
-
D
Both probes perform identical checks; the difference is only in which team configures them
