Best Practices for Kubernetes in Production
The “Best Practices for Kubernetes in Production” project focuses on enhancing Kubernetes environments through structured guidelines in three critical areas:
- Application Development
- Health checks
- Apps are independent
- Graceful shutdown
- Fault tolerance
- Resource utilization
- Logging
- Scaling
- Configuration and secrets
- Governance
- Namespace limits
- Pod security policies
- Network policies
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) policies
- Custom policies (Gatekeeper)
- Cluster Configuration
- Run the CIS benchmark
- Authentication
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
- Logging setup
By implementing these practices, the project ensures that services are secure, scalable, and resilient. It includes strategies for fault tolerance, resource optimization, security policies, and proper configuration management. The open-source checklist encourages continuous improvement, allowing contributors to suggest new practices and track deployment progress for consistent, high-quality production environments.
