Kubernetes

Quick Start (kubectl)

Copykubectl 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
