 * The `node-monitor-grace-period` parameter specifies how long {product-title} waits after a node associated with a `MachineConfig` object is marked `Unhealthy` if the controller manager does not receive the node heartbeat. Workloads on the node continue to run after this time. If the remote worker node rejoins the cluster after `node-monitor-grace-period` expires, pods continue to run. New pods can be scheduled to that node. The `node-monitor-grace-period` interval is `40s`. The `node-status-update-frequency` value must be lower than the `node-monitor-grace-period` value.
 
-* The `pod-eviction-timeout` parameter specifies the amount of time {product-title} waits after marking a node that is associated with a `MachineConfig` object as `Unreachable` to start marking pods for eviction. Evicted pods are rescheduled on other nodes. If the remote worker node rejoins the cluster after `pod-eviction-timeout` expires, the pods running on the remote worker node are terminated because the node controller has evicted the pods on-premise. Pods can then be rescheduled to that node. The `pod-eviction-timeout` interval is `5m0s`.

+Unless tolerations are explicitly set, Kubernetes automatically adds a toleration for `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready` and `node.kubernetes.io/unreachable` with `tolerationSeconds=300`, meaning that pods remain bound for 5 minutes if either of these taints is detected.

 You can delay or avoid pod eviction by configuring pods tolerations with the `NoExecute` effect for the `node.kubernetes.io/unreachable` and `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready` taints.

 Other types of {product-title} objects::
 You can use replica sets, deployments, and replication controllers. The scheduler can reschedule these pods onto other nodes after the node is disconnected for five minutes. Rescheduling onto other nodes can be beneficial for some workloads, such as REST APIs, where an administrator can guarantee a specific number of pods are running and accessible.

 There are two different leader election implementations to choose from, each with its own trade-off:
 
-Leader-for-life:: The leader pod only gives up leadership, using garbage collection, when it is deleted. This implementation precludes the possibility of two instances mistakenly running as leaders, a state also known as split brain. However, this method can be subject to a delay in electing a new leader. For example, when the leader pod is on an unresponsive or partitioned node, the link:https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-controller-manager/#options[`pod-eviction-timeout`] dictates long how it takes for the leader pod to be deleted from the node and step down, with a default of `5m`.
