Introduction

In the previous chapter, we went through many different ways to update and scale your application in Kubernetes. We also explored setting up an autoscaler so that we wouldn't worry about scaling our applications up and down manually to handle incoming traffic. Now we continue with another essential topic that we need to embrace as a part of DevOps, which is troubleshooting. It is important to know how to fix problems quickly. In the next section, we will go through the necessary information for better troubleshooting in general. Kubernetes provides us with all the necessary functionality to troubleshoot applications, which we will explore in the Troubleshooting in Kubernetes section.
