A curated compilation of links to public postmortems and failure stories about Kubernetes outages in production. It is published as the website k8s.af and organized by year, affected components, and impact.
Use cases
- find real-world kubernetes outage postmortems
- learn common ways kubernetes clusters fail
- research production incidents before running k8s
- find stories about CPU limits, DNS, and CNI failures
- prepare SRE training material from real incidents
- avoid repeating known kubernetes pitfalls
When to avoid
- you need a tool or library rather than reading material
- you need up-to-date incident reports - the list has not been actively updated since 2023
