Learn from real-world Kubernetes production failures through a collection of confessions gathered from years of troubleshooting outages in this 36-minute conference talk. Discover how deceptively simple mistakes can bring down entire production clusters, including applications that appeared healthy but were invisible to monitoring systems, clusters unable to drain nodes for extended periods, containers that escaped their security sandboxes, and on-premises registries so slow they paralyzed entire release pipelines. Explore the small decisions and overlooked fundamentals behind major incidents, gaining practical insights into how Kubernetes actually behaves in production environments. Understand how minor issues in YAML configurations, health probes, node drains, and privilege settings can escalate into significant problems, while acquiring a comprehensive playbook to prevent these common yet costly mistakes in your own Kubernetes deployments.
