Pods

Pods are the running containers that serve inference requests for your endpoints. Each endpoint manages one or more pods — the endpoint's autoscaler creates and destroys pods based on traffic.

The pods list

The list view shows every pod across all endpoints in your workspace. Each row displays:

• Name — the pod's identifier.
• Endpoint — which endpoint this pod belongs to.
• Status — current phase (Running, Pending, Failed).
• Ready — whether the pod is accepting requests.
• Restarts — restart count.
• Age — how long the pod has been running.

Click a pod to see its full specification, conditions, and events.

When to check pods

• Endpoint not serving — check if pods are stuck in Pending or CrashLoopBackOff.
• High latency — check pod resource utilization and readiness probes.
• Debugging — pod logs and events give you container-level detail.

info

Pods are managed by the endpoint's autoscaler. You don't create or delete pods directly — they're created and terminated automatically based on traffic and scaling policy.
