Abstract

This Paper offers practical strategies to ensure High Availability (HA) for your Kubernetes applications. It breaks down the key components of Kubernetes, including the control plane, worker nodes, pods, and services, and provides actionable tips for keeping everything running smoothly. You’ll learn about important practices like setting up multi-region and multi-cluster configurations, maintaining enough pod replicas, balancing workloads effectively, and creating solid disaster recovery plans. By following these recommendations, organizations can keep their applications consistently available, reduce downtime, and improve overall system reliability.
