Eviction Policy
This page is an overview of Kubernetes' policy for eviction.
Eviction Policy
The kubelet proactively monitors for
and prevents total starvation of a compute resource. In those cases, the kubelet can reclaim
the starved resource by failing one or more Pods. When the kubelet fails
a Pod, it terminates all of its containers and transitions its PodPhase to Failed.
If the evicted Pod is managed by a Deployment, the Deployment creates another Pod
to be scheduled by Kubernetes.
