  name: Liveness Probe Not Configured in Deployments
  author: princechaddha
  severity: medium
  description: Checks for missing liveness probes in Kubernetes Deployments, which are essential for managing container health and automatic recovery
  impact: |
    Absence of liveness probes can lead to unresponsive containers remaining in service, potentially degrading application performance and availability.
  remediation: Configure liveness probes for all containers in Kubernetes Deployments to ensure proper health checks and automatic restarts of failing containers
