What consequences may arise if the readiness check fails?

If a readiness check fails, it means that the application or service is not yet ready to accept traffic or perform its functions. The consequences can be as follows:

• The orchestrator (e.g., Kubernetes) will not route traffic to this pod or container.
• The system may attempt to restart the service or mark it as unavailable.
• Users may encounter errors or delays when accessing the service.

Thus, a failed readiness check helps prevent requests from being sent to unready components, ensuring system stability and reliability.
