Description
https://github.com/target/pod-reaper
We can use the pod reaper to make sure that pods are recreated regularly. This allows us to detect pods that don't work correctly when restarted or when they're moved to another node. It will also allow us to detect single points of failure to ensure we're deploying with high availability.
