    • Build highly available clusters from scratch using kubeadm
    • Perform in-place upgrades and rollback strategies
    • Implement etcd backup and restore procedures

  2. Networking & Services

    • Configure ClusterIP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer services

  3. Storage Management

    • Define and automate StorageClasses
    • Work with PersistentVolumes, volume modes, access modes, and reclaim policies
    • Integrate dynamic provisioning with CSI plugins

  4. Workloads, Scheduling & Scaling

    • Use ConfigMaps and Secrets for secure configuration
    • Implement rolling updates, rollbacks, and auto-scaling for resilient applications
    • Leverage resource limits and requests to optimize Pod placement

  5. Security & Access Control

    • Configure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for fine-grained permissions
    • Apply Network Policies to isolate and protect workloads
    • Secure the control plane and enforce best practices

  6. Logging, Monitoring & Troubleshooting

    • Centralize and analyze application and cluster logs
    • Instrument clusters with monitoring tools and readiness/liveness probes
    • Diagnose and resolve pod-, node-, and network-level failures under timed conditions

  7. Production-Grade Best Practices
