A Priority Class in Kubernetes is a way to assign different priority levels to Pods, influencing the order and eviction sequence of Pods during scheduling and resource contention. This allows Mission-Critical workloads to have a higher priority than others, ensuring they are more resilient to system degradation. For more detailed information, refer to the [official Kubernetes documentation on Priority Classes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/pod-priority-preemption/#priorityclass).
