  • What should readiness & liveness probe actually check for?

  • How do you take care of your manifests?

    A developer's workflow should anyway deploy to a real, or close-to-production Kubernetes cluster before opening a merge request with the finished change. That means the developer definitely sees upfront if the manifest is super wrong. Tools like kube-score (which is quite opinionated), kubeval or OPA rules can help in addition to keep things consistent and secure. For such a developer workflow, I recommend Skaffold since it mostly just wraps Docker, kubectl and the templating tool you're using (e.g. kustomize/helm).

Note, this feature needs to be supported by the CNI implementation used in the Kubernetes cluster to have an effect. [CRITICAL] Pod Probes · Container is missing a readinessProbe A readinessProbe should be used to indicate when the service is ready to receive traffic. Without it, the Pod is risking to receive traffic before it has booted. It's also used during rollouts, and can prevent downtime if a new version of the application is failing.
