Your StatefulSet Checklist:
- Configure appropriate resource requests/limits
- Set up persistent volume claims
- Implement pod disruption budgets
- Add monitoring and alerting
- Configure security policies
- Plan for disaster recovery
- Optimize for cost
- Test scaling behavior
Remember: terminal pods are stateful workloads that require careful orchestration. Design for persistence, security, and cost-efficiency.
