Introduction to Kubernetes Anti-Patterns

In the ever-evolving landscape of container orchestration and cloud-native technologies, Kubernetes stands as a shining beacon, offering unparalleled power and flexibility in managing containerized applications. Yet, this power comes with a price – the complexity of Kubernetes can sometimes lead even the most experienced practitioners down treacherous paths, resulting in suboptimal deployments, operational headaches, and, ultimately, compromised application performance.

Kubernetes, often referred to as K8s, is an intricate ecosystem of interconnected components, each with its own set of best practices, configurations, and potential pitfalls. While this intricacy empowers organizations to build highly resilient and scalable applications, it also creates opportunities for missteps. Kubernetes environments are not immune to the allure of shortcuts, temporary fixes, or misconfigurations, leading to issues that fall into the category of...
