In industries like banking, there's a real need for real-time data. Introduction We are living in the cloud age, which means developers do not need to set up their own local machine or dedicate on-premise environment to implement, test and run their application. They just create a VM machine in the cloud to perform those tasks.

When this happens, usually a k8s cloud-controller provided by the cloud vendor will detect that the actual server, in our case an EC2 Instance, has actually gone away, and will in turn delete the k8s node object. Nodes can go away for any reason, especially in “the cloud”. That still doesn’t really answer the question of why.
