Kubernetes Pods may be the smallest deployable units in your clusters, but they hold hidden complexities that even seasoned users can overlook. If you think you know everything about Pods — think again!
This talk is based on a deep dive into the world of all things Pods, covering both the interesting, obscure and frustrating bits you may not be aware of.
We’ll take a look at some of the inconsistencies from legacy decision, some of the lesser used features that you may not be aware, the questionable naming decisions made over the years and sprinkle in some of the exciting new features that will be coming in future Kubernetes releases.
