Disruptions are events that lead to one or more
{{< glossary_tooltip term_id="pod" text="Pods" >}} going out of service.
A disruption has consequences for workload resources, such as
{{< glossary_tooltip term_id="deployment" >}}, that rely on the affected
Pods.

Kubernetes terms that an _involuntary disruption_.
