Does Liveness probe verify certificate if scheme is set to HTTPS in kubernetes?

Question

Does liveness probe in kubernetes verify Certificate for https request? I am using a self-signed certificate for my project.

Answer 1

No, as per the official documentation https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-probes/

If scheme field is set to HTTPS, the kubelet sends an HTTPS request skipping the certificate verification.
