Kubernetes Self-Healing: Keeping Your Apps Alive Without Lifting a Finger

Imagine you're running a large online store. One of your app’s services crashes in the middle of the night. In a traditional setup, someone might have to wake up, check logs, restart the app, and pray it doesn’t go down again. But with Kubernetes, the system fixes itself — no need for midnight heroics. Kubernetes Self-Healing is the ability of the platform to automatically detect when a container, Pod, or Node is unhealthy or gone, and then replace or reschedule it — with no human intervention.
