Kubernetes Configuration Good Practices

Stripped down and sharp, the blog lays out Kubernetes config best practices: keep YAML manifests in version control, use Deployments (not raw Pods), and label like you mean it - semantically, not just alphabet soup. It digs into sneaky pain points too, like how YAML mangles booleans (yes≠true), and .. read more
