Kubernetes Resource Management: Requests, Limits, LimitRanges, and QoS Classes
Resource requests and limits are the single most impactful configuration decision in a Kubernetes cluster. Get them wrong and you get OOMKilled pods, noisy neighbours, unreliable scheduling, and wasted spend. This article explains how to get them right.
FeaturedKubernetes Pod Lifecycle: From Scheduling to Termination
Everything that happens between kubectl apply and a running pod — and between a delete command and a clean shutdown. Understanding the full pod lifecycle is what separates engineers who debug Kubernetes quickly from those who guess.
What I Wish I'd Known About Kubernetes Reliability From Day One
The reliability mindset that took years to develop: how to think about SLOs in a Kubernetes environment, failure modes that repeat, capacity planning in a dynamic system, and the on-call experience that changes how you build everything.
FeaturedThe Operational Patterns Kubernetes Won't Teach You — But Production Will
Beyond the basics: the operational patterns that only emerge after running Kubernetes in production. Graceful shutdown, pod disruption budgets, anti-affinity rules, namespace strategy, and the kubectl commands that become muscle memory.
FeaturedWhat Years of Using Kubernetes Taught Me That the Documentation Never Could
Documentation taught me how Kubernetes works. Production taught me why it works the way it does — and why that difference changed how I think about infrastructure.
