7 — Whiteboard Exercises

Kubernetes

A book-shaped table of contents for Kubernetes: cloud-native foundations, the CKAD/CKA/CKS certification tracks, control-plane internals, platform tooling, multi-cluster architecture, and MAANG-level system design and interview prep — cross-linking the existing Prometheus, Observability, and Platform Engineering chapters instead of duplicating them.

6 — Common MAANG Kubernetes Questions

Why 'what happens when a pod is scheduled' and 'what happens when a node dies' stay the two highest-frequency questions because they force you to narrate the whole control plane.

8 — Final Revision Checklist

Why a pre-interview revision checklist should be organized by failure mode (scheduling, networking, storage, control plane) rather than by Kubernetes object type.

1 — Kubernetes Design Questions

Why the strongest answer to a multi-tenant platform design question starts from isolation boundaries (namespace vs. cluster vs. node) rather than jumping straight to YAML.

3 — Kubernetes Internals Interviews

Why grasping the reconciliation loop (watch, diff, act) explains almost every 'why didn't my change take effect' internals question the interviewer can ask.
