Reading Kubernetes Deployments in Production
A sample Kubernetes post focused on practical deployment review and troubleshooting.
A deployment is one of the first objects to inspect when a workload behaves unexpectedly. Start with the fields that affect rollout, health, and capacity.
First fields to inspect
Check replica count, rollout strategy, readiness probes, liveness probes, resource requests, resource limits, and labels. Those fields usually explain the first layer of production behavior.
