Kubernetes

A practical operations playbook that gives you the production deployment checklist most teams learn the hard way. It covers the essentials: readiness and startup probes for safe rollouts, resource requests and limits to prevent noisy neighbor problems, and a fast kubectl debugging workflow starting with describe, events, and logs. The progressive disclosure is well designed, with the entry point at 150 tokens and full references hitting 9000 tokens covering core objects, rollout strategies, a debugging runbook, and security hardening. It assumes you know Kubernetes basics but need the operational patterns that keep services reliable. Good for teams moving past their first few deployments and wanting to avoid the common pitfalls.

Kubernetes

Quick Start (kubectl)

kubectl describe pod/<pod> -n <ns>
kubectl get events -n <ns> --sort-by=.lastTimestamp | tail -n 30
kubectl logs pod/<pod> -n <ns> --previous --tail=200

Production Minimums

Health: readinessProbe and startupProbe for safe rollouts
Resources: set requests/limits to prevent noisy-neighbor failures
Security: run as non-root and grant least privilege
