A practical look at what I learned while working with Kubernetes in a real-world environment. From deployments and services to ConfigMaps, Secrets, Helm charts, and troubleshooting pods, Kubernetes has completely changed how I think about deploying applications.

This post covers some of the common challenges I faced and the approaches I used to debug them.
