On startup, it hit a transient error that prevented the server from starting up, but the pod did not try to restart again after that. The logs showed nothing between when it got stuck starting up and when I initiated a manual restart 20 minutes later. It seems we hit this issue during a network partition, though we are still investigating.\r\n\r\nDoes the pod need to talk to the master in order for a restart to be triggered?\r\n\r\nAttached is our configuration file, including the restart policy [apiserverProdConfig.txt](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/files/192511/apiserverProdConfig.txt)\r\n\r\nThanks!"}}
