Kubernetes Probes

You can deploy self-hosted Check Point AI Guardrails to Kubernetes. AI Guardrails exposes endpoints for liveness, readiness, and startup probes.

For detailed Kubernetes deployment instructions, see Self-hosting AI Guardrails.

Startup

Use /startupz to implement a startup probe for your K8s deployment. The startup probe is recommended if you also implement readiness or liveness probes, because those require the gunicorn workers to start.

Example usage:

startupProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /startupz
    port: 8000
  periodSeconds: 10
  failureThreshold: 30

Readiness

Use /readyz to implement a readiness probe for your K8s deployment. If you implement both readiness and liveness probes, a higher failureThreshold on the liveness probe is recommended.

Example usage:

readinessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /readyz
    port: 8000
  periodSeconds: 5
  failureThreshold: 1

Liveness

Use /livez to implement a liveness probe for your K8s deployment. If you implement both readiness and liveness probes, a higher failureThreshold on the liveness probe is recommended.

Example usage:

livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /livez
    port: 8000
  periodSeconds: 5
  failureThreshold: 3
