First Principles of Cloud Native Technology
summary
Shows a concrete checklist for understanding an inherited Kubernetes system in ~20–30 minutes: look at the cloud bill to find active services, scan issue trackers for hot repos, create acceptance and categorization tests, and use metrics to spot trends. Demonstrates hands‑on tactics like run pods locally and inspect images, and recommends specific tools — Prometheus for metrics, Istio/Linkerd for meshes, Falco/sysdig and procfs/systemd for low‑level inspection. Emphasizes low‑level OS knowledge as the highest leverage.
