Ensure that all workloads have liveness and readiness probes
Medium Severity
Configuring Kubernetes liveness and readiness probes is essential for ensuring the security and reliability of a system. These probes actively monitor container health and readiness, facilitating automatic actions like restarting or rescheduling unresponsive instances for improved reliability. They play a proactive role in issue detection, allowing timely problem resolution and contribute to efficient scaling and traffic distribution.
