Kubernetes can trigger a shutdown but only by issuing a GET. Our current shutdown endpoint only accept POST which makes it unusable.

See #18244

I really don't like this. GET requests should have no side-effects and be idempotent. Shutting down the app on GET violates both of those. My understanding is that Kubernetes will send SIGTERM to initiate shutdown. Can't we rely on that instead?

I raised this when watching @saturnism present Kubernetes best practices at a conference. Looking at the documentation, I'm not really sure why the HTTP method would be used over SIGTERM. Perhaps Ray can comment?
