## Eviction Policy
|
|
|
|
The {{< glossary_tooltip text="kubelet" term_id="kubelet" >}} proactively monitors for
|
|
and prevents total starvation of a compute resource. In those cases, the `kubelet` can reclaim
|
|
the starved resource by failing one or more Pods. When the `kubelet` fails
|
|
a Pod, it terminates all of its containers and transitions its `PodPhase` to `Failed`.
|
|
If the evicted Pod is managed by a Deployment, the Deployment creates another Pod
|
|
to be scheduled by Kubernetes.
