  "description": "## Configure a Liveness Probe\n\nKubernetes uses **liveness probes** to know when to restart a container. If a container's liveness probe fails repeatedly, the kubelet kills the container and the pod's restart policy takes effect.\n\n**Your task:**\n\nCreate a Deployment named `probed-app` with:\n- Image: `nginx:alpine`\n- 1 replica\n- A **liveness probe** that:\n  - Checks `HTTP GET /` on port `80`\n  - `initialDelaySeconds: 5`\n  - `periodSeconds: 10`",
