Some notes on running new software in production

The wisdom that comes from running things in production makes open-ended questions about those gotchas useful interview questions.

'looks like you used kubernetes for a major project recently. What were some of the unexpected warts?'

Someone with experience running a service on k8s will have at least a few stories, and how someone describes their own responses to those hurdles can shed light on their personality.

Agreed, though it saddens me how many of those hurdles will be poor rediscovery of previously well documented problems in older systems. :(

I tend to like these sorts of questions, really shows you how much a person understands about a system. I also like it when its asked of me, though I always wonder how much a rant about the things I've experienced setting up Nomad/Consul/Vault would be productive.
