Lightning Talk: 7 Tips for Tricks to Enjoy Your Kubernetes Journey
summary
Seven concrete tips: accept that Kubernetes grows complex at persistent storage, networking, network policies and pod disruption budgets; optimize the CLI with kubectl autocomplete, kubectx for quick context/namespace switching, krew for plugins and a custom terminal prompt; always set readiness and liveness probes or rolling upgrades can kill production; prefer infrastructure-as-code (example: Terraform or Bloomie) instead of clicking UIs to preserve configs; pick an ingress implementation deliberately (NGINX is common); enforce YAML policies using Open Policy Agent or similar.
