# Require `livenessProbe` and `readinessProbe` are different
Pod liveness and readiness probes are often used as a check to ensure either the health of an already running Pod or when one is ready to receive traffic. For a sample policy with more information and which contains a validation rule that both are present, see [require_probes.yaml](RequirePodProbes.md).
This sample checks to ensure that `livenessProbe` and `readinessProbe` are configured differently. When these two probes are configured but are set up the same way, race conditions can result as Kubernetes continues to kill and recreate a Pod never letting it enter a running state. This sample satisfies a common best practice in which these probes, if extant, not overlap and potentially cause this condition.
In this sample policy, a series of `deny` rules exist, one per container, to compare the `livenessProbe` map to the `readinessProbe`. If any container in a Pod potentially having multiple is found to have identical probes, its creation will be blocked. Note that in this sample policy the `validationFailureAction` is set to `enforce` due to the use of a `deny` rule rather than a `validate` rule. By using the annotation `pod-policies.kyverno.io/autogen-controllers`, it modifies the default behavior and ensures that only Pods originating from DaemonSet, Deployment, and StatefulSet objects are validated.
If you may potentially have more than four containers in a Pod against which this policy should operate, duplicate one of the rules found within and change the array member of the `containers` key in fields `key` and `value`. For example, to match against a potential fifth container, duplicate a rule and change `containers[3]` to `containers[4]`.
