Checklist for Kubernetes in Production: Best Practices for SREs
Briefly

Kubernetes is essential for modern applications due to its scalability, but it introduces complexity for Site Reliability Engineers (SREs). To assist SREs in managing high-scale Kubernetes operations, a checklist has been developed based on proven practices to streamline processes. Focusing on key areas such as resource management, workload placement, health probes, and GitOps automation can help avoid common challenges, inefficiencies, and downtime. By adopting good operational hygiene, SREs can improve stability and reduce cognitive load in managing Kubernetes environments.
Managing Kubernetes in production involves navigating challenges that stem from resource management, workload placement, high availability, observability, and the need for good operational hygiene.
Implementing GitOps and automating workflows can drastically improve how SREs handle Kubernetes at scale, minimizing issues and reducing the cognitive load on engineers.
