Configure a Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA) with a per-container resource policy that provides recommendations for the main container while excluding the sidecar container from any VPA-managed scaling.
A Deployment is failing because application configuration is missing. Mount only specific keys from an existing ConfigMap as files inside the Pod at the correct path so the application can start successfully.
A Deployment is using a disk-backed emptyDir volume. Convert it to a memory-backed tmpfs volume for better performance — but make sure to set a size limit to prevent the Pod from exhausting the node's RAM.
