Disruption [glossary]deterministic
An event that leads to Pod(s) going out of service
fundamentalnetworking
Disruptions are events that lead to one or more [Pods](#gloss:pod) going out of service. A disruption has consequences for workload management [resources](#gloss:api-resource), such as [deployment](#gloss:deployment), that rely on the affected Pods.
If you, as cluster operator, destroy a Pod that belongs to an application, Kubernetes terms that a _voluntary disruption_. If a Pod goes offline because of a Node failure, or an outage affecting a wider failure zone, Kubernetes terms that an _involuntary disruption_.
See [Disruptions](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/disruptions/) for more information.
