A collection of common misconceptions about Kubernetes — busted with facts, examples, and diagrams.
Kubernetes is powerful, but many developers, engineers, and even architects fall for common myths that lead to misconfigurations, inefficiencies, or security risks.
This repository is dedicated to clarifying these myths, providing:
- Clear myth statements
- Technical reality explained
- Examples, code snippets, and diagrams
- References to official documentation
Whether you’re learning Kubernetes or designing cloud-native platforms, this repo will save you from costly mistakes.
Some of the myths included:
- NodePort exposes your app to the Internet
- Kubernetes scheduler considers resource limits when scheduling pods
- ReadWriteOnce volumes can only use block storage
- Kubernetes injects service info into all pods automatically
- All access modes work on all storage backends
…and many more!
Each myth is backed with technical explanation, experiments, and diagrams to help you validate the reality.
