☸️ Kubernetes Basics

Kubernetes automates deployment, scaling, and management of containerized apps.
Pods are the smallest deployable units in Kubernetes.
Use Deployments, StatefulSets, and DaemonSets for different workloads.

Scaling Tips

Use Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) for automatic scaling.
Set resource requests and limits for all containers.
Monitor cluster metrics to optimize scaling policies.

Resource Management

Use namespaces to isolate workloads.
Leverage ConfigMaps and Secrets for configuration and sensitive data.
Regularly review node and pod resource usage.
