Liveness probes

Liveness probes are used in Kubernetes to know when a pod is alive or dead. A pod can be in a dead state for a variety of reasons; Kubernetes will kill and recreate the pod when a liveness probe does not pass.

Readiness probes

Readiness probes are used in Kubernetes to know when a pod is ready to serve traffic. Only when the readiness probe passes will a pod receive traffic from the service; if a readiness probe fails traffic will not be sent to the pod.
