# Node crash recovery To speed up node crash recovery process, edit kube-controller-manager pod: ```bash kubectl get -n kube-system pod | grep kube-controller-manager | cut -f1 -d ' ' | xargs kubectl edit -n kube-system pod ``` Add/edit the following parameters: * `--pod-eviction-timeout=30s` (default 5m0s) * `--node-monitor-period=2s` (default 5s) * `--node-monitor-grace-period=16s` (default 40s) * `--pod-eviction-timeout=30s` (default 5m) * `--node-status-update-frequency` And, of course, you can always have your deployments with replica 2 and service will be up even if one node goes down. ### References
