Kubernetes Interview Deep Dive: Reasoning Through Real Scenarios
The Kubernetes interview scenarios that go beyond definitions -- debugging a crash-looping pod, explaining how a Service actually finds its pods, and reasoning correctly about resource requests and limits under pressure.
Learning objectives
- Walk through a systematic debugging sequence for a pod stuck in CrashLoopBackOff
- Explain the real behavioral difference between a Deployment and a StatefulSet and when each is warranted
- Describe the actual mechanism -- kube-proxy, iptables/IPVS, and endpoint objects -- behind Service traffic routing
- Reason correctly about what happens during a rolling update and the consequences of misconfigured resource requests and limits
