Zero-downtime node drains for single-replica workloads (k8s)
Zero-downtime node drains for single-replica workloads (k8s)
When a Kubernetes node must be drained, solo replicas are killed, causing outages that force painful downtime. Drainless automatically spawns temporary standby replicas, orchestrates seamless migration, and coordinates node drains so single‑replica workloads remain reachable until the node is fully decommissioned.
