title: Ensuring graceful shutdown of a pod without ordinal pod ids
body: <ol>
  <li><p>When a pod is in a restart loop is it eligible for being removed during scaling down before it restarts successfully? (without stateful sets)</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Also what happens if a pod container exits with a non-zero exit code when scaling that pod down? Will it be restarted and shutdown again or just removed?  (with or without stateful sets)</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Can I ensure that a pod is always gracefully shutdown without using stateful sets (because I want lifetime-unique UIDs instead of distinct reusable ordinal ids)?</p>
  </li>
  </ol>
