Now checking out an unconference session- "Pod Lifecycle: the good, the bad, and the misunderstood" with @bobbypage!

Pod Lifecycle is complicated and we have the issues to prove it. Many issues are on the kubelet side, but not all of them. With the wide variety of controllers possible, there are a lot of ways for the lifecycle of a pod to go wrong. #kcsna #KubeCon #Kubernetes

Static pods are a particularly weird use case. I remember learning about these while studying for the CKA (Kubernetes Admin certification) & being like, "THAT'S A THING?!" One of those things that feels like an anti-pattern, but essential in certain use cases.

Pod Lifecycle isn't really something I hear talked about clearly often. Documentation is needed to clarify what it is & what the problems are. Greater testing required - new contributors wanted!

The Pod Lifecycle- how your pod/workloads lives & dies in Kubernetes, with the states in between, is foundational knowledge but not currently well-documented as its own subject. But work is in progress. Add it to your Kubernetes Lexicon if you haven't already!
