Kubernetes Production Best Practices

Configuring Kubernetes manifests correctly is fundamental to infrastructure reliability, predictable scheduling, and strong container security. Neglecting limits or security privileges often leads to outages and vulnerabilities.

Resource Contention

If container resources limits are omitted, a single memory leak or cpu-intensive loop can exhaust the entire host node's resources, causing the kubelet to evict other critical pods.

Privileged Isolation

By default, processes inside Docker containers can run as the root user. If a container is compromised, the attacker has elevated privileges. Enforcing runAsNonRoot forces the container to run under unprivileged Unix IDs.

Recommended Deployment Checklist:

Define Limits: Configure requests and limits for both CPU and Memory.
HA Replicas: Deploy replica counts greater than 1 (ideally with PodDisruptionBudgets) to survive node restarts.
Deterministic Tags: Avoid mutable tags like latest. Tag image references with immutable digests or semantic build numbers.
Health Monitoring: Configure readinessProbe (traffic control) and livenessProbe (autorestart) for all web apps.
