Thanos extends Prometheus with long-term storage, global querying across clusters, and high availability for production monitoring.

A Kubernetes DaemonSet ensures a copy of a specific pod runs on every node, ideal for logging, monitoring, and system-level agents.

Kubernetes HPA automatically scales the number of pod replicas based on observed CPU, memory, or custom metrics to match demand.

A Kubernetes ConfigMap stores non-confidential configuration data as key-value pairs for consumption by pods and containers.

A Kubernetes Secret stores sensitive data like passwords, tokens, and certificates, keeping it separate from application code.

A Kubernetes CRD extends the Kubernetes API by defining new custom resource types managed like native Kubernetes objects.

A Kubernetes Network Policy controls traffic flow between pods at the network level, acting as a firewall for your cluster.

A Kubernetes StatefulSet is a controller for stateful applications requiring stable network identities, persistent storage, and ordered deployment.

An error budget is the maximum amount of unreliability a service can tolerate within its SLO, used to balance feature velocity with reliability.
