API-initiated eviction is the process by which you use the [Eviction API](/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/{{<param "version">}}/#create-eviction-pod-v1-core)
|
|
to create an `Eviction` object that triggers graceful pod termination.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You can request eviction either by directly calling the Eviction API
|
|
using a client of the kube-apiserver, like the `kubectl drain` command.
|
|
When an `Eviction` object is created, the API server terminates the Pod.
|
|
|
|
API-initiated eviction is not the same as [node-pressure eviction](/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/eviction/#kubelet-eviction).
