Extra liveness/readiness probe delay

General Discussions

Hi,

I have a simple deployment. I added the livenessProbe and the readinessProbe like this:

livenessProbe:
  initialDelaySeconds: 3 
  timeoutSeconds: 5
  exec:
    command: ...
readinessProbe:
  initialDelaySeconds: 3 
  timeoutSeconds: 5
  exec: ...

After I applied the deployment, the pod was started and the app was running. But the state was not turned to ready until about 1 minute later. If I remove the initialDelaySeconds from the readinessProbe, the pod turns to the read state immediately after deployment.

Why initialDelaySeconds: 3 causes the readiness probe to delay for about 1 minute?

Thanks.
