In this article we are going to review the checklist I used during multiple intervies regarding GKE readiness for production. This checklist focuses on Google Kubernetes Engine and some advices might not be relevant if you are running containers in another environment.

This checklist is a generic overview and is subject to change regarding your company and your needs.

We use the word “passive” for Liveness because many users use Liveness probes to handle fatal errors in their app and request Kubernetes to restart the app and this is not the way to go.

Most of the time this is because you are not in control of what is happening and you need to become more confident.
