Master Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud - Step 26 – Configuring Liveness and Readiness Probes for Microse

The video tutorial discusses how to minimize downtime during application releases by using Kubernetes liveness and readiness probes. It explains the functionality of these probes and how they help maintain high availability of microservices. The tutorial also covers the integration of Spring Boot Actuator's inbuilt probes and demonstrates configuring these probes in a deployment YAML file. Finally, it shows how to switch application versions without downtime by leveraging these probes.

Describe the process of accessing the actuator health endpoints.

What is the significance of configuring readiness and liveness probes in a deployment?

How does Kubernetes determine when to terminate an old version of an application during an upgrade?
