Your Pods Are Running But Failing Requests — Here's Why

Kubernetes Readiness Probes Explained | Stop Traffic to Unready Pods

Ever noticed your Kubernetes pods running but still failing requests?
That’s where Readiness Probes come in, they tell Kubernetes when your app is actually ready to serve traffic.

In this video, we’ll dive deep into Kubernetes Readiness Probes, understand how they differ from Liveness Probes, and see a real demo using an Nginx deployment manifest. You’ll learn how Kubernetes uses these probes to manage traffic, avoid failed requests, and ensure smoother rollouts.

What you’ll learn:
1. Difference between Liveness and Readiness probes
2. How readiness probes prevent traffic to uninitialized containers
3. Step-by-step demo with YAML manifest
4. How to debug failed probes and fix path issues
5. Pro tips to use readiness probes effectively in production
