Tell us about your experience with using and configuring the Kubernetes platform.

My experience with Kubernetes includes:

• Deploying applications in a cluster using YAML manifests (Deployment, Service, ConfigMap).
• Configuring application scaling with Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.
• Managing configurations and secrets for secure data storage.
• Monitoring the cluster and applications using built-in tools and third-party solutions.
• Working with namespaces for resource isolation.

For example, deploying a simple application uses a Deployment manifest:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: my-app
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: my-app
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: my-app
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: my-app-container
        image: my-app-image:latest
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080

This approach ensures application fault tolerance and scalability.
