Kubernetes Resiliency

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Covers concrete ways to make Kubernetes resilient with Azure AKS: use multiple availability zones, split system and user node pools with taints/tolerations, apply topologySpreadConstraints to enforce distribution, run etcd with odd quorum and regular backups, and enable metrics + Horizontal Pod Autoscaler or KEDA for event-driven scaling. Recommends Pod Disruption Budgets, resource requests over hard limits, separate liveness vs readiness endpoints, and monitor with Container Insights or Prometheus/Grafana.
