Kubernetes Pitfall Playbook : A Mini Book of 50 Common Mistakes (and How to Fix Them)

Kubernetes Pitfall Playbook A Focused Mini Book

This is a compact, ready-to-use Kubernetes mini book designed for DevOps, Platform, and SRE engineers who work with Kubernetes daily and want fewer surprises in production.

Inside, you’ll find 50 of the most common Kubernetes mistakes that trip engineers up, from incorrect kubectl usage and misconfigured YAML to subtle configuration issues that only show up under load, along with clear, practical fixes you can apply immediately.

Each pitfall includes:

• The mistake, showing the actual wrong command or configuration
• The impact, explaining what breaks, how it fails, and why it matters
• The fix, with concrete commands and configuration changes that resolve the issue
