 `PreStop`
 
-This hook is called immediately before a container is terminated.
+This hook is called immediately before a container is terminated due to an API request or management event such as liveness probe failure, preemption, resource contention and others. A call to the preStop hook fails if the container is already in terminated or completed state.
 It is blocking, meaning it is synchronous,
 so it must complete before the call to delete the container can be sent.
 No parameters are passed to the handler.
