Kubernetes: System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (#) on the number of inotify instances has been reached
The root issue for Kubernetes: System.IO.IOException inotify instances error is caused by the Kubernetes cluster running out of inotify resources at the OS level. The resource limit for the inotify resources is defined by “fs.inotify.max_user_watches” and “fs.inotify.max_user_instances” environment variables. You can view the limits on the Kubernetes cluster by executing into a pod of your […]
Ingress resource for hosting multiple sites on single Amazon EKS cluster – Part 1

How Kubernetes establishes communication between Pods
Kubernetes provides a feature called service discovery. It gives containers their own IP addresses and a single DNS name and can load-balance across them. Services are responsible for communication between pods. You can see in architecture where serviceIP is actually a key component for the service discovery. It consists of DNS mapping with Pod IP(iptables). […]
