Kubernetes Deployment and Gitops Questions

Focuses on implementing safe deployment patterns specifically in Kubernetes and on GitOps practices for declarative, version controlled operations. Topics include Kubernetes native rollout models such as rolling updates, canary releases, and blue green deployments; pod lifecycle considerations, readiness and liveness probes, resource limits, and health checks; implementing automated continuous deployment pipelines that target Kubernetes clusters; and GitOps principles including declarative manifests, version control as the source of truth, automated reconciliation, and observable drift management. Candidates should also know common GitOps tools such as Argo CD and Flux, manifest management approaches like Helm and Kustomize, and operational concerns such as rollback procedures, security and access controls, and integration with monitoring.
