Exam AZ-204 topic 2 question 76 discussion

HTTP liveness probe checks if the app should be restarted, so it is used for detecting app failures instead of traffic readiness. Correct answer is "HTTP readiness probe" - A

The correct answer is: A. HTTP readiness probe Explanation: To ensure that a replica is ready to handle incoming HTTP requests, you should implement a readiness probe. Here's a breakdown of the options: A. HTTP readiness probe ✅ This checks whether the container is ready to serve traffic. It’s ideal for web applications like your order processing service that must be available based on incoming HTTP requests. B. TCP readiness probe Similar to HTTP readiness, but uses TCP. HTTP is more appropriate for web-based services where you want to check a specific endpoint. C. HTTP startup probe Used to determine if the application has started. It’s useful for slow-starting apps but not specifically for checking readiness to serve traffic. D. TCP liveness probe Checks if the container is still running, not whether it’s ready to serve traffic. E. HTTP liveness probe Also checks if the container is alive, not whether it’s ready to handle requests.
