Pets, Cattle, Chickens, Humans: A strange Kubernetes love-letter
summary
Kubernetes runs stateless HTTP PHP services packaged as Nginx + PHP containers, using readiness and liveness probes to avoid routing traffic to cold or dead workers. Databases live outside the cluster; background workers and video transcoders do run in pods. Load testing uses Locust on a separate cloud to validate scaling; claim of handling up to a million requests per minute is presented as achievable after tuning. Early pain came from Flannel and rapid Kubernetes version changes; cost control uses spot instances and autoscaling to shrink idle CPU time.
