## What it is
A community-maintained cookbook of best practices for working with Kubernetes, covering cluster setup, security, RBAC, networking, secrets management, observability, and GitOps. It is a documentation/learning resource rather than runnable software.

## Use cases
- learn kubernetes best practices
- harden kubernetes cluster security
- set up rbac and network policies in kubernetes
- prepare kubernetes for production
- optimize kubernetes cluster costs
- learn kubernetes secrets management and observability

## When to choose
- you are learning Kubernetes and want a curated, opinionated guide
- you are preparing a cluster for production and want a checklist of practices
- you want links to official docs for GKE, EKS, and AKS alongside practical advice

## When to avoid
- you need runnable tooling or automation rather than documentation
- you need exhaustive, version-specific reference documentation
- you need hands-on tutorials with exercises rather than a practices cookbook

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, security, monitoring, deployment
- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools
- platform: cloud, self-hosted
