- Query id: 5b6d53dd-3ba3-4269-b4d7-f82e880e43c3
- Query name: Liveness Probe Is Not Defined
- Platform: Terraform
- Severity: Low
- Category: Availability
- URL: Github
Description¶
In case of an unresponsive container, a Liveness Probe can help your application become more available since it restarts the container. However, it can lead to cascading failures. Define one if you really need it
