✅ Pod Lifecycle in Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed to automate deploying, scaling, and operating application containers. The Kubernetes lifecycle is defined by a series of stages that a pod goes through as it is created, deployed, and eventually terminated. Here are the important stages of the Kubernetes lifecycle:

1 Pending: This is the first stage of the Kubernetes lifecycle. During this stage, the pod has been accepted by the Kubernetes cluster, but one or more of its containers has not been set up and made ready to run 

2 Running: This stage occurs when at least one of the pod’s primary containers starts successfully. The pod remains in this stage until it is terminated or stopped

3 Succeeded: This stage occurs when all containers in the pod have completed successfully and exited 
 
4 Failed: This stage occurs when any container in the pod terminates in failure 

These are the main stages of the Kubernetes lifecycle. Each stage represents a different state of the pod as it moves through its lifecycle.
