Compilation of public failure/horror stories related to Kubernetes

Kubernetes Failure Stories

A compiled list of links to public failure stories related to Kubernetes. Most recent publications on top.

Why

Kubernetes is a fairly complex system with many moving parts. Its ecosystem is constantly evolving and adding even more layers (service mesh, ..) to the mix. Considering this environment, we don't hear enough real-world horror stories to learn from each other! This compilation of failure stories should make it easier for people dealing with Kubernetes operations (SRE, ops, platform/infrastructure teams) to learn from others and reduce the unknown unknowns of running Kubernetes in production.
