Create two jobs: one that checks whether the container can connect to the database, and another that runs the shutdown script if the Pod is failing.

Create the Deployment with a livenessProbe for the container that will fail if the container can't connect to the database. Configure a Prestop lifecycle handler that runs the shutdown script if the container is failing.

Create the Deployment with a PostStart lifecycle handler that checks the service availability. Configure a PreStop lifecycle handler that runs the shutdown script if the container is failing.

Create the Deployment with an initContainer that checks the service availability. Configure a Prestop lifecycle handler that runs the shutdown script if the Pod is failing.
