Kubernetes Production Mastery - Lesson 01: Production Mindset
• Production mindset: Think in failure modes, not just success cases
• 5 failure patterns: OOMKilled, cascading failures, config drift, silent degradation, manual toil
• 6-item production readiness checklist: Resource limits, health checks, security context, observability, graceful shutdown, rollback plan
• Real-world example: How skipping the checklist caused a 3-hour outage
• Actionable next steps: Audit your workloads, enforce the checklist, run chaos experiments
