PDB, Evictions, Priority Classes: Kubernetes During Rush Hour

Learn the ins and outs of defining a “Pod Disruption Budget” (PDB) and decipher the mysteries behind the “NOMINATED NODE” column in your kubectl output. Delve into the crucial distinctions between “Eviction” and “Preemption” and discover how to navigate these concepts effectively in your Kubernetes deployments.

In this one-hour free webinar, dive into the chaotic world of Kubernetes during peak traffic periods. Ever wondered what happens when your Kubernetes cluster hits capacity? Which applications stay afloat, and which ones come crashing down, and why? What about the impact of maintenance operations during traffic spikes?

During the 1- hour we will cover:

– Impact of Kubernetes cluster overflow during peak traffic
– Application survival and crash scenarios
– Effect of maintenance operations during traffic spikes
– Understanding and defining Pod Disruption Budget (PDB)
– Deciphering the “NOMINATED NODE” column in kubectl output
– Difference between Eviction and Preemption in Kubernetes
– Q&A
