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
