Node-pressure eviction

Glossary Page

Node-pressure eviction is a method employed by kubelet to free up resources on nodes by proactively terminating pods. The kubelet continuously monitors various resources such as CPU, memory, disk space, and filesystem inodes on the nodes of your cluster. If the consumption of any of these resources reaches a certain threshold, the kubelet can take action by terminating one or more pods on the node to reclaim resources and prevent resource starvation. It is crucial to note that node-pressure eviction differs from API-initiated eviction.
