Node-pressure eviction is the process by which the {{<glossary_tooltip term_id="kubelet" text="kubelet">}} proactively terminates
|
|
pods to reclaim resources on nodes.

|
|
|
The kubelet monitors resources like CPU, memory, disk space, and filesystem
|
|
inodes on your cluster's nodes. When one or more of these resources reach
|
|
specific consumption levels, the kubelet can proactively fail one or more pods
|
|
on the node to reclaim resources and prevent starvation.
|
|
|
|
Node-pressure eviction is not the same as [API-initiated eviction](/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/api-eviction/).
