<p>Is probe frequency customizable in liveness/readiness probe?</p>

<p>Also, how many times readiness probe fails before it removes the pod from service load-balancer? Is it customizable?</p>

<p>You can easily customise the probes failure threshold and the frequency, all parameters are defined <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/api-reference/v1/definitions/#_v1_probe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.
For example:</p>

<pre><code>      livenessProbe:
        failureThreshold: 3
        httpGet:
          path: /health
          port: 9081
          scheme: HTTP
        initialDelaySeconds: 180
        timeoutSeconds: 10
        periodSeconds: 10
        successThreshold: 1
</code></pre>

<p>That probe will run the first time after 3 mins, it will run every 10 seconds and the pod will be restarted after 3 consecutives failures.</p>
