Docker DCA Exam - Topic 5 Question 131 Discussion

Posted by Leonardo on Aug 18, 2026 at 02:43 AM

One of several containers in a pod is marked as unhealthy after failing its livenessProbe many times. Is this the action taken by the orchestrator to fix the unhealthy container?

Solution: The unhealthy container is restarted.

Suggested Answer: A

A liveness probe is a mechanism for indicating your application's internal health to the Kubernetes control plane. Kubernetes uses liveness probes to detect issues within your pods.When a liveness check fails, Kubernetes restarts the container in an attempt to restore your service to an operational state1. Therefore, the action taken by the orchestrator to fix the unhealthy container is to restart it.Reference:

I'm a bit confused; I thought sometimes the orchestrator might just mark it for review instead of restarting it.

I think the orchestrator does restart the unhealthy container, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only action it takes.
