Missing Probes
A webapp has been running fine in staging, but production deployments cause problems. Users report 503 errors shortly after a rollout, and the app occasionally gets stuck in a degraded state that Kubernetes never detects. The pod shows as Running — but the team isn't confident it's actually healthy.
20 min
Initial Situation
A webapp Deployment is running in the namespace. The application exposes two endpoints on port 8080: - /healthz for liveness checks - /ready for readiness checks The pod is Running, but Kubernetes has no visibility into its actual health state.
