Description: A Pod Disruption Budget is a policy that limits the number of pods that can be interrupted during voluntary disruptions, such as updates or maintenance. This policy is crucial in container orchestration environments, where availability and service continuity are essential. By establishing a disruption budget, administrators can define a limit on the number of pods that can be shut down simultaneously, helping to ensure that there are always enough instances running to handle the workload. This is especially important for critical applications that require high availability. The Pod Disruption Budget is configured using an orchestration object that specifies the maximum number of pods that can be disrupted and the minimum that must remain active. This tool allows organizations to balance the need for maintenance and updates with the need to keep the service online, thereby minimizing the impact on end users. In summary, the Pod Disruption Budget is an essential feature for efficient resource management in container environments, ensuring that applications remain operational even during scheduled changes.
