<p>a quick question. I know if the Kubernetes liveness probe fails, kubernetes will help restart the pod and try again. But how about the readiness probe fails? How can I also ask kubernetes to restart the pod?</p>

<p><code>api-group-0                     0/1       Running     0          6h35m</code></p>

<p>Restart this pod can make it works. Thanks all!</p>

<p>There's no way to trigger pod restart within a readiness probe. 
As it was recommended in the comments, you should rely on liveness probe instead. </p>

<pre><code>livenessProbe:
      exec:
        command:
        - /opt/fissile/readiness-probe.sh
      initialDelaySeconds: 20
      periodSeconds: 10
      failureThreshold: 3
</code></pre>

<p>If you have concerns about readiness-probe.sh fails periodically and shouldn't trigger restart straight after the first failure, consider <code>failureThreshold</code> setting. It will give this many tries before pod restart. </p>
