Hands-on lab scripts for "When Kubernetes Restarts Your Pod — And When It Doesn't" — ConfigMap sync, Secret rotation, image updates, Istio xDS, in-place resize (K8s 1.35 GA), and Stakater Reloader

Safe, in-place Kubernetes pod resource right-sizing. VPA done right.

Kubernetes controller for GKE that uses the in-place pod resize subresource (GA in K8s 1.35) to right-size pod requests when pods land on machine families different from the one the workload was calibrated for. No restarts, no CRDs — a single ConfigMap drives the per-family performance-unit matrix.
