Spring Boot on Kubernetes: Health Probes, Config, Scaling & Observability

Running Spring Boot in Kubernetes well requires integrating with five areas: health probes (Spring Actuator /health/liveness and /health/readiness mapping exactly to Kubernetes probe types), configura

Learning objectives

  • Distinguish Kubernetes' liveness, readiness, and startup probes by what each one actually controls.
  • Explain how Spring Boot's Actuator health endpoints map directly onto Kubernetes' probe types.
  • Configure a Spring Boot Deployment's resource requests, ConfigMaps/Secrets, and HPA correctly, tying together concepts from across this entire Kubernetes category.
