## Deployment Strategies
### Rolling Update (Default)
- Gradually replace old Pods
- Zero downtime
- Rollback capability

### Recreate
- Terminate all old Pods
- Create new Pods
- Downtime occurs

### Blue/Green
- Deploy new version alongside old
- Switch traffic atomically
- Quick rollback

### Canary
- Route small percentage to new version
- Gradually increase traffic
- Monitor and rollback if issues

## Best Practices
- Set resource requests and limits
- Use liveness and readiness probes
- Implement health checks
- Use namespaces for isolation
- Label resources consistently
- Store config in ConfigMaps/Secrets
- Use RBAC for access control
- Implement network policies
- Use Pod Disruption Budgets
- Tag images with specific versions
- Use init containers for setup
- Implement proper logging
- Monitor resource usage
- Use StatefulSets for stateful apps
- Implement backup strategies

## Common Patterns
### Sidecar
- Additional container in Pod
- Logging, monitoring, proxy

### Init Containers
- Run before main containers
- Setup, migration, config

### DaemonSet
- One Pod per node
- Logging agents, monitoring

### Job/CronJob
- Batch processing
- Scheduled tasks

## Security
- Use least privilege RBAC
- Network policies for isolation
- Pod security policies/standards
- Scan images for vulnerabilities
- Secrets encryption at rest
- Use service accounts
- Audit logging
- Regular updates

## Monitoring
- Prometheus + Grafana
- Metrics server for HPA
- Logging (EFK stack, Loki)
- Distributed tracing (Jaeger)

## Anti-Patterns
- No resource limits
- Latest image tag
- Running as root
- Storing state in containers
- No health checks
- Single point of failure
- No monitoring
- Manual scaling
