Container Restart

Definitions

1. The termination and subsequent re-launch of a container, whether triggered intentionally, by policy, or due to failure. Container restarts can recover transient errors, but frequent restarts often hide deeper problems like crashing startup paths, bad probes, or resource exhaustion.

   In plain English: Stopping and starting a container again.

   Example: "The sudden spike in container restarts pointed to a bad config rollout rather than a code regression in the application binary itself."
