Level 1: Quick Start

Core Principles

1. Declarative Configuration: Define desired state, let Kubernetes manage it
2. Resource Limits: Always set requests and limits for CPU and memory
3. Health Checks: Implement liveness, readiness, and startup probes
4. Security First: RBAC, network policies, pod security standards
5. Immutable Infrastructure: Never modify running containers
