Question

An AI generated this Kubernetes Deployment for a service that calls a downstream API. It's healthy in normal traffic, but during a downstream slowdown the whole fleet got killed and restarted in a loop, amplifying the outage. What's wrong with the probe design?

yaml

1containers:2  - name: api3    image: acme/api:1.4.04    livenessProbe:5      httpGet:6        path: /healthz7        port: 80808      initialDelaySeconds: 39      periodSeconds: 510      failureThreshold: 211    readinessProbe:12      httpGet:13        path: /healthz14        port: 8080

What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.
