We also see on cluster events that when cat / tmp / health fails, the container is re-created:

Let's take a look at RadyNess trial. The availability of this test indicates that the application is ready to accept requests and the service can switch traffic to it:

Our containers work great. Let's add traffic to them:
controlplane $ kubectl expose deploy readiness \
–-type = LoadBalancer \
–-name = readiness \
–-port = 9000 \
–-target-port = 9000
service / readiness exposed
controlplane $ kubectl get svc readiness
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT (S) AGE
readiness LoadBalancer 10.98.36.51 <pending> 9000: 32355 / TCP 98s
controlplane $ curl localhost: 9000
controlplane $ for i in {1..5}; do curl $ IP: 9000 / health; done

Each container has a delay. Let's check what happens if one of the containers is restarted – whether traffic will be redirected to it:
controlplane $ kubectl get pods
