As Kubernetes continues to revolutionize the way we manage and deploy applications, understanding its intricacies becomes essential for developers and operations teams alike. If you don’t have a dedicated DevOps team you probably shouldn’t be working with Kubernetes. Despite that, in some cases, a DevOps engineer might not be available while we’re debugging an issue. For these situations and for general familiarity we should still familiarize ourselves with common Kubernetes issues to bridge the gap between development and operations. I think this also provides an important skill that helps us understand the work of DevOps better, with that understanding we can improve as a cohesive team. This guide explores prevalent Kubernetes errors and provides troubleshooting tips to help developers navigate the complex landscape of container orchestration.
As a side note, if you like the content of this and the other posts in this series check out my Debugging book that covers this subject. If you have friends that are learning to code I’d appreciate a reference to my Java Basics book. If you want to get back to Java after a while check out my Java 8 to 21 book.
