Overall I think this blog's structure and. content look great.

One thing that I think can be imporved is adding some more description to the pitfalls of every section. For example, for the third point it would be great to provide some more context as to why the logs get lost after some time. Similarly more details for the reasons for the other pitfalls

@siddhant-khisty Thanks for the valuable review ! i'll try to add this detail.

Adding some context to the first pitfall.

@lhajouji, would you be willing to review an open blog PR? See this list of pull requests that might need a review?

I suggest you take a look at #49163, but any reviews are welcome.

If you can do that, it'll help with the overall backlog of articles pending review.

+**The Pitfall**: Jumping into complex service meshes, advanced CNI plugins, or multi-cluster traffic routing before you really grasp the basics of ClusterIP, NodePort, or a simple Ingress setup.
+
+**How to Avoid It**:
+- Start small: a Deployment, a Service, maybe a basic Ingress controller (like NGINX).


nit: NGINX is not itself an ingress controller

Yes, i agree, i'll change it accordingly.

+**The Pitfall**: Deploying the same YAML with the same resources and settings to dev, staging, and production. Different environments have different needs, traffic patterns, and sometimes secrets.
+
+**How to Avoid It**:
+- Use environment overlays or [kustomize](/docs/tasks/manage-kubernetes-objects/kustomization/) to maintain a shared base while customizing resource requests, replicas, or config for each environment.


nit: better to link to https://kustomize.io/

Ok, i'll change it.
