kubernetes: pod restart policy

2 min read

When defining objects that contain a pod template (such a Deployment or a Job) but also when defining a plain pod we can control under which circumstances a pod will be restarted

The container restart policy can be controlled using restartPolicy on the spec at the same level where we define the containers:

apiVersion: batch/v1 kind: Job metadata:  name: demo-restartPolicy-job spec:  backoffLimit: 2  template:  metadata:  name: demo-restartPolicy-pod  spec:  containers:  - name: demo  image: sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli  restartPolicy: Never
