Kubernetes Operations overview

Kubernetes Operations covers the day-to-day management, scaling, and reliability of production Kubernetes clusters and the workloads running on them. Key areas include cluster lifecycle management (kubeadm, EKS/GKE/AKS managed control planes), workload configuration (Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs), networking (CNI plugins, Ingress, NetworkPolicies), storage (PVs, StorageClasses), RBAC, and observability (Prometheus, Loki). The specialization intersects with Terraform/IaC for cluster provisioning, SRE for reliability targets, and Kubernetes Operator Development for custom automation built on top of the API.
