The Magic of Kubernetes Self-Healing Capabilities
summary
Kubernetes achieves self‑healing by combining a declarative API with controllers with reconcile loops that watch the API server and drive actual state to desired state. Example: replicaSet, scheduler, node controller and the volume attachment controller coordinate to attach/detach disks and restart pods; node loss triggers a ~5 minute node-declare-dead plus a ~6 minute detach timeout, so recovery can exceed ten minutes. Orphan mounts and actual-state drift plague the volume manager; the CSI change adds a persisted file to allow reliable reconciliation and cleanup.
