Kubernetes Basics

Trigger Boundary

• •Use when runtime packaging, orchestration, or infrastructure controls must be defined.
• •Do not use for product requirement decomposition; use requirements-* or user-story-writing.
• •Do not use for post-incident review output; use incident-postmortem.

Goal

Establish reproducible, secure, and operable runtime platforms.

Inputs

• •Change scope and risk profile
• •Domain evidence for workload deployment, service discovery, and cluster resource basics
• •Operational, compliance, and rollout constraints

Outputs

• •Kubernetes workload baseline manifest set
• •Decision log for workload deployment, service discovery, and cluster resource basics
• •Verification checklist with measurable pass-fail criteria

Workflow

1. •Clarify outcomes and hard constraints for workload deployment, service discovery, and cluster resource basics.
2. •Produce options and select an approach for workload deployment, service discovery, and cluster resource basics.
3. •Evaluate trade-offs across security, performance, operability, and maintainability.
4. •Verify decisions using cluster deployment and health probe checks.
5. •Publish decisions, residual risks, and accountable follow-up actions.

Quality Gates

• •Scope and assumptions for workload deployment, service discovery, and cluster resource basics are explicit and reviewable.
• •Decision rationale is backed by evidence instead of preference.
• •Rollout and rollback criteria are defined when production impact exists.
• •Residual risks have owners, due dates, and verification steps.

Failure Handling

• •Stop when baseline workloads cannot be deployed reliably on target clusters.
• •Escalate when accepted risk exceeds team policy thresholds.
