Answer
Eviction is due to pressure; graceful termination follows delete requests.
Quick Answer
Graceful termination: kubelet sends SIGTERM to the container, waits terminationGracePeriodSeconds (default 30s), then SIGKILL. The app should drain connections during this window. Node-level eviction (node pressure): kubelet evicts Pods based on priority, starting with BestEffort, then Burstable, then Guaranteed. It's Pod-level termination triggered by kubelet, not by the API server.
