Liveness Probe
In plain terms
A check determining whether a container should be restarted.
Going deeper
A liveness probe tests whether an application is still running properly; if it fails repeatedly, the orchestrator restarts the container. It detects stuck processes.
Under the hood
In Kubernetes, a failing liveness probe triggers a restart; distinct from readiness.
Examples
Kubernetes, container restarts, deadlock detection, self-healing, health checks.
Think of it like...
Like a heartbeat monitor that calls for resuscitation if the pulse stops.
