I'm working with a Docker and Terraform microservices setup, and I've run into a problem where several of my containers keep restarting at regular intervals. I've checked and ruled out any memory or CPU issues. What else could be causing these restarts? Any insights would be appreciated!

Have you checked the logs for your containers? If the main process in the container fails, it can trigger a restart loop. The logs might provide insights into what's failing.
If you've set up readiness or liveness probes, they could be causing the restarts. Try disabling them temporarily to see if that stabilizes your containers. If they still restart, check the application logs for errors.
Exactly! Sometimes those probes can be overly sensitive.
It could also be an application-level crash or a health check failure. When there's no resource usage but containers are still restarting, it might mean they’re stuck in a failing loop. If you can, try running one of the containers locally for easier debugging.
Yeah, commands like `docker logs` can really help pinpoint the problem.
