Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Pod Status Monitoring:

   • Monitors pod statuses to identify and address failing or stuck pods promptly.

2. Operational Efficiency:

   • Helps ensure that pods transition to the "running" state quickly and maintain stability.

3. Resource Allocation:

   • Provides insights into whether any node or pod is underutilized or overloaded.

For Security Engineers:

1. Vulnerability Detection:

   • Identifies pods in a "failed" or "pending" state that may indicate potential security or configuration issues.

2. Compliance Tracking:

   • Ensures that pods are continuously running as expected and meet security compliance guidelines.
