Drills

Container CPU and memory limits with the .NET runtime

Connects orchestrator requests and limits to .NET GC, thread-pool behavior, throttling, OOM termination, and capacity planning.

Architecture scenarioHard

~12 min

Diagnose container crash loops, image pulls, and OOM failures

Uses instance state, termination reasons, events, logs, configuration, probes, and resource evidence to distinguish common container startup failures.

Practice drill

Graceful container shutdown for .NET services

Handles SIGTERM, traffic draining, cancellation, background work, and termination deadlines without losing accepted work or hanging rollout.

Concept questionMedium~7 min

Kubernetes Pod, Deployment, Service, and Ingress basics

Explains the small set of Kubernetes resources needed to run and expose a replicated stateless API without drowning the answer in platform vocabulary.

Readiness, liveness, and startup probes for a .NET service

Separates traffic eligibility, process recovery, and slow startup so health checks do not amplify dependency failures or restart healthy work.

Rolling container deployments with database migrations

Coordinates old and new application versions, expand-and-contract schema changes, migration ownership, readiness, and rollback during rolling releases.
