In high-traffic or large-scale Kubernetes clusters, unwanted pod disruptions are inevitable—and while stateless workloads shrug them off, stateful services can suffer serious problems. In this lightning talk, I’ll walk you through every Kubernetes eviction type—both voluntary (e.g. draining, cordoning) and involuntary (e.g. resource pressure, OOMKill)—explain the triggers behind each, and share quick mitigation tips to keep your stateful workloads alive and away from unwanted disruptions. By the end, you’ll have a concise mental map of evictions and know exactly where to look when your pods start disappearing.
