What is a startup probe for?
- ✓Correct answer: Holding off liveness checks until a slow app has started
- 2Running database migrations before the main container
- 3Measuring how fast the image is pulled onto a node
Explanation
Without it, a generous liveness delay is needed for slow starts, which also delays detecting real hangs later. The startup probe covers just the boot phase.
