1st Presentation:

# Untangling K8S Knots: Patterns for Effective Troubleshooting and the Use of AI

Troubleshooting workloads on Kubernetes is a critical but sometimes unappreciated aspect of Kubernetes management. In this practical session, we'll tackle common Kubernetes headaches—ranging from application failures and problematic deployments to cascading failures affecting multiple workloads. Through hands-on demonstrations, attendees will explore proven troubleshooting techniques using native tools like kubectl to quickly identify, diagnose, and resolve common problems.

Complementing these methods, we'll introduce Komodor as an additional lens for troubleshooting, highlighting how visualization, timeline-based debugging, and automated insights can streamline workflows and decrease context switching. Participants will leave equipped with robust troubleshooting strategies, applicable immediately within their own Kubernetes environments, regardless of their tool choices.
