Deterministic browser-only rollout model

Kubernetes Rollout Capacity Lab

Compare readiness, surge, unavailability, termination, and modeled serving capacity without contacting or changing a cluster.

This is not a benchmark, capacity calculator, Kubernetes dry-run, or production verification. Steps and capacity are explicit teaching inputs, not measured time or throughput.

    How to use it

    Choose one of six scenarios or enter a bounded teaching configuration. The model advances old Ready, new starting, new Ready, and terminating Pods through discrete steps, then reports rollout progress and modeled serving capacity.

    The inputs are assumptions and policy values, not observations from a cluster. A timeline step is not a second. A Pod capacity value is not a benchmark. The tool does not generate YAML or production recommendations.

    Read Kubernetes Rollout Capacity Lab: Readiness, Surge, and Drain for every preset and its evidence boundary. Continue with Safe Backend Releases and Production Kubernetes Incident Troubleshooting.

    FAQ

    Kubernetes Rollout Capacity Lab questions

    Does this lab connect to or modify a Kubernetes cluster?

    No. It is a deterministic browser-only state model. It makes no network request, runs no kubectl command, and reads no cluster, registry, cloud, or account state.

    Can this lab size production replicas or resource limits?

    No. Capacity and timeline steps are teaching inputs rather than measurements. Production policy needs representative workload, startup, resource, dependency, and user-outcome evidence.

    How are percentage surge and unavailable values resolved?

    The model demonstrates Deployment-style rounding: percentage maxSurge rounds up, while percentage maxUnavailable rounds down for the selected desired replica count.

    What does overload risk mean in the output?

    It only means the entered request rate exceeds ready modeled Pod capacity in that step. It does not predict latency, errors, scheduling, OOM, or business outcomes.
