What to look for in a Kubernetes freelancer
A strong Kubernetes expert should understand what happens when things break at 3am, not just how to apply a YAML file. Look for:
- Real production experience, running clusters under actual traffic, not just local Minikube demos.
- Fluency with core objects: deployments, services, ingress, config maps, and secrets.
- Networking and storage know-how, from ingress controllers to persistent volumes.
- Observability habits: metrics, logs, and alerts set up before something goes wrong.
- A pragmatic streak, knowing when Kubernetes is overkill and when it genuinely fits.
Ask about a time a cluster misbehaved and how they diagnosed it. Troubleshooting stories reveal far more than a list of tools they have touched.
