<p>I was trying out spring boot microservice deployment on kubernetes cluster using Helm Chart. But I noticed a strange issue that <strong>my spring boot application start but it shutdown immediately after</strong></p>
<p>Here are the logs</p>

<p>Spring Boot Version : <strong>2.2.7.RELEASE</strong>
Docker Hub Public image for spring boot : <strong>rahulwagh17/kubernetes:jhooq-k8s-springboot-jetty</strong></p>
<p>One strange thing which i noticed when i use kubectl command manually to create deployment and service spring boot deployments goes perfectly fine.</p>
<pre><code>vagrant@kmaster:~$ kubectl create deployment demo --image=rahulwagh17/kubernetes:jhooq-k8s-springboot-jetty

vagrant@kmaster:~$ kubectl expose deployment demo --type=LoadBalancer --name=demo-service --external-ip=1.1.1.1 --port=8080

<p>(I followed this guide for deploying spring boot on kubernete - <a href="https://jhooq.com/deploy-spring-boot-microservices-on-kubernetes/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Deploy spring boot on kubernetes cluster</a>)</p>
<p>I am just wodering is there something wrong with spring boot or my helm setup?</p>
<p>Here is my helm templates -</p>

<pre class="lang-yaml prettyprint-override"><code>         ports:

</code></pre>
<p>It appears the liveness probe (configured to contact the port named <code>http</code>) is killing your Pod since your container appears to be listening on :8080 but you've told kubernetes that it's listening on :80</p>
<p>Since a <code>kubectl</code> created deployment will not have any such specificity, kubernetes won't use a liveness probe and there you are</p>
<p>You can usually configure the spring application via an environment variable if you want to test that theory:</p>

        - name: springboot
          env:

          # and its friend, which is the one that 
          # you should be using for liveness and readiness
