🔹 Kubernetes - Kubernetes v1.34: Finer-Grained Control Over Container Restarts

The tech blog post discusses the release of Kubernetes v1.34, which introduces an alpha feature called “Container Restart Policy and Rules.” This feature allows users to set individual restart policies for each container within a Pod, offering more granular control compared to the previous Pod-level restart policy. Users can also define rules to conditionally restart containers based on exit codes. This feature addresses limitations of the single restart policy by enabling scenarios such as in-place restarts for training jobs, try-once init containers, and Pods with multiple containers having different restart requirements. To use this feature, users need to enable the ContainerRestartRules feature gate on Kubernetes 1.34+. The post encourages feedback and participation from the community, providing several ways to engage with the Kubernetes SIG Node team. 👉 Read more
