<p>I have just upgraded my Airflow from 1.10.13 to 2.0. I am running it in Kubernetes (AKS Azure) with Kubernetes Executor. Unfortunately, I see my Scheduler getting killed every 15-20 mins due to Liveness probe failing. Hence my pod keeps restarting.</p>
<p>I had no issues in 1.10.13.</p>
<p>This is my Liveness probe:</p>
<pre><code>import os
os.environ['AIRFLOW__CORE__LOGGING_LEVEL'] = 'ERROR'
os.environ['AIRFLOW__LOGGING__LOGGING_LEVEL'] = 'ERROR'

from airflow.jobs.scheduler_job import SchedulerJob
from airflow.utils.db import create_session
from airflow.utils.net import get_hostname
import sys

with create_session() as session:
  job = session.query(SchedulerJob).filter_by(hostname=get_hostname()).order_by(
      SchedulerJob.latest_heartbeat.desc()).limit(1).first()

sys.exit(0 if job.is_alive() else 1)
</code></pre>
<p>When I look in the scheduler logs I see the following:</p>

</code></pre>

<p>I managed to fix my restart by setting up the following configs:</p>
<pre><code>[kubernetes]
...
delete_option_kwargs = {&quot;grace_period_seconds&quot;: 10}
enable_tcp_keepalive = True
tcp_keep_idle = 30
tcp_keep_intvl = 30
tcp_keep_cnt = 30
</code></pre>
<p>I have another Airflow instance running in AWS - Kubernetes. That one runs fine with any version, I realized the problem is with Azure Kubernetes, the rest api calls to the api server.</p>
<p>Just in case this helps someone else....</p>
