liveness and readiness probe count

Question

I had a doubt on the count shown inside the pod as liveness and readiness probe failures. Does the count increment for every failure OR does the count increment after the failureThreshold count is breached? Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Answer 1

It counts increment for every failure. If the count passes the failureThreshold count then it restarts the pod according to the restarting policy and also depending the probes (differently for liveness and readiness probe). Kubernetes try a probe failureThreshold times then give up. For liveness probe it does restart the container and for readiness probe the Pod will be marked Unready.
