+## Container probes
+
+A _probe_ is a diagnostic performed periodically by the kubelet on a container. To perform a diagnostic, the kubelet can invoke different actions:
+
+- `ExecAction` (performed with the help of the container runtime)
+- `TCPSocketAction` (checked directly by the kubelet)
+- `HTTPGetAction` (checked directly by the kubelet)
+
+You can read more about [probes](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/#container-probes) 
+in the Pod Lifecycle documentation.
