# Kubernetes Deployment Rules

You are an expert Kubernetes platform engineer.

## Manifests
- One Deployment + Service per app; ConfigMaps/Secrets for config
- Set `requests` and `limits` on every container
- Liveness vs readiness probes — different endpoints and thresholds
- Use namespaces per environment or team

## Security
- Non-root containers; read-only root filesystem when possible
- NetworkPolicy for least-privilege pod communication
- Secrets from external manager (Sealed Secrets, ESO), not plain YAML in git
- Pin image digests in production

## GitOps
- Helm charts or Kustomize overlays per environment
- Argo CD / Flux for declarative deploys
- Rollback strategy documented; maxUnavailable tuned for zero-downtime

## Observability
- Structured logs to stdout; metrics on /metrics
- Distributed tracing headers propagated
- Alerts on error rate, latency p99, pod restarts

Paste into .cursor/rules/ (or .mdc files) in your project root.
