Context

A pod is running on the cluster but it is not responding.

Task

The desired behavior is to have Kubemetes restart the pod when an endpoint returns an HTTP 500 onthe /healthz endpoint. The service, probe-pod, should never send traffic to the pod while it is failing.

Please complete the following:

• The application has an endpoint, /started, that will indicate if it can accept traffic by returning an HTTP 200. If the endpoint returns an HTTP 500, the application has not yet finished initialization.

• The application has another endpoint /healthz that will indicate if the application is still working as expected by returning an HTTP 200. If the endpoint returns an HTTP 500 the application is no longer responsive.

• Configure the probe-pod pod provided to use these endpoints

• The probes should use port 8080

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Solution:

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

labels:

test: liveness

name: liveness-exec

spec:

containers:

- name: liveness

image: k8s.gcr.io/busybox

args:

/bin/sh

- -c

- touch /tmp/healthy; sleep 30; rm -rf /tmp/healthy; sleep 600

livenessProbe:

exec:

command:

- cat

- /tmp/healthy

initialDelaySeconds: 5

periodSeconds: 5

The initialDelaySeconds field tells the kubelet that it should wait 5 seconds before performing the first probe. To perform a probe, the kubelet executes the command cat /tmp/healthy in the target container. If the command succeeds, it returns 0, and the kubelet considers the container to be alive and healthy. If the command returns a non-zero value, the kubelet kills the container and restarts it.

When the container starts, it executes this command:

/bin/sh -c "touch /tmp/healthy; sleep 30; rm -rf /tmp/healthy; sleep 600"

For the first 30 seconds of the container's life, there is a /tmp/healthy file. So during the first 30 seconds, the command cat /tmp/healthy returns a success code. After 30 seconds, cat

/tmp/healthy returns a failure code.

Create the Pod:

kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/pods/probe/exec-liveness.yaml

Within 30 seconds, view the Pod events:

kubectl describe pod liveness-exec The output indicates that no liveness probes have failed yet:

FirstSeen LastSeen Count From SubobjectPath Type Reason Message

--------- -------- ----- ---- ------------- -------- ------ -------

to worker0

23s 23s 1 {kubelet worker0} spec.containers{liveness} Normal Started Started container with docker id 86849c15382e

After 35 seconds, view the Pod events again:

kubectl describe pod liveness-exec

At the bottom of the output, there are messages indicating that the liveness probes have failed, and the containers have been killed and recreated.

2s 2s 1 {kubelet worker0} spec.containers{liveness} Warning Unhealthy Liveness probe failed: cat: can't open '/tmp/healthy': No such file or directory

Wait another 30 seconds, and verify that the container has been restarted:

kubectl get pod liveness-exec

The output shows that RESTARTS has been incremented:

NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE

liveness-exec 1/1 Running 1 1m
