While this book is not specific to Kubernetes, per-se, I figure it might be good to have a collection of best practices as an appendix, much like I do for Ansible in Ansible for DevOps. I was inspired by this great post on pipetail's blog: 10 most common mistakes using kubernetes.

There are a lot of things that you don't realize are important to do (or even can be done) until you're burned by not doing them, like the way you structure limits, or the way you set up liveness/readiness probes. It's nice if someone warns you about the ways they can blow up in your face so you don't have to go through the experience for yourself, in production, on a Friday evening.
