Managing an Akka Cluster on Kubernetes
summary
Demonstrates running Akka clusters on Kubernetes using Akka Cluster Bootstrap and a headless Service for discovery, configuring three contact points and driving membership from Kubernetes Endpoints. Covers readiness probes, health checks, terminationGracePeriodSeconds and a termination deadline, and wiring Akka’s coordinated shutdown to drain in-flight work for safe rolling updates, with example deployment YAML and required values for successful upgrades.
