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 designed to take you on a deep dive into the world of all things Pods, covering both the familiar and the obscure.
Starting with a quick overview of the basic architecture, we’ll then move into more nuanced territory — exploring topics like Pod readiness probes, lifecycle hooks, runtime classes, and the multitude of different container types that can be used. We’ll also discuss common misconceptions, gotchas that can trip you up in production, and offer some best practices suggestions along the way.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a deeper understanding and appreciation of Pods and the knowledge to leverage them expertly in your Kubernetes clusters.
