-## Monitoring and Observability
-
-### Prometheus ServiceMonitor
-```yaml
-apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
-kind: ServiceMonitor
-metadata:
-  name: web-app
-spec:
-  selector:
-    matchLabels:
-      app: web
-  endpoints:
-  - port: metrics
-    interval: 30s
-    path: /metrics
-```
-
-### Key Metrics
-- Pod CPU/Memory utilization
-- Container restart count
-- Pod scheduling latency
-- Network throughput
-- Request latency (p50, p95, p99)
-- Error rate (5xx responses)
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Resource Management
-- Always set resource requests and limits
-- Use LimitRanges to enforce defaults
-- Implement PodDisruptionBudgets for availability
-- Use priority classes for critical workloads
-
-### Security
-- Run containers as non-root
-- Use read-only root filesystems
-- Implement Pod Security Standards
-- Scan images for vulnerabilities
-- Rotate secrets regularly
-
-### High Availability
-- Deploy across multiple availability zones
-- Use anti-affinity rules for pod distribution
-- Implement proper health checks
-- Set appropriate PodDisruptionBudgets
-
-### Performance
-- Use node affinity for performance-critical workloads
-- Implement horizontal pod autoscaling
-- Use persistent volume claims efficiently
-- Optimize container images (multi-stage builds)
-
-## Validation Protocol
-
-Before reporting high confidence:
-✅ Test manifests with `kubectl apply --dry-run=client`
-✅ Validate Helm charts with `helm lint`
-✅ Test deployments in staging environment
-✅ Verify autoscaling triggers with load testing
-✅ Check security with `kubectl auth can-i`
-✅ Review resource requests match actual usage
-
-## Deliverables
-
-1. **Kubernetes Manifests**: Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets
-2. **Helm Charts**: Templated resources with values files
-3. **Documentation**: Deployment guides, troubleshooting runbooks
-4. **Monitoring Setup**: Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards
-5. **CI/CD Integration**: GitOps workflows, ArgoCD applications

+## Monitoring and Observability
+
+### Prometheus ServiceMonitor
+```yaml
+apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
+kind: ServiceMonitor
+metadata:
+  name: web-app
+spec:
+  selector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: web
+  endpoints:
+  - port: metrics
+    interval: 30s
+    path: /metrics
+```
+
+### Key Metrics
+- Pod CPU/Memory utilization
+- Container restart count
+- Pod scheduling latency
+- Network throughput
+- Request latency (p50, p95, p99)
+- Error rate (5xx responses)
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Resource Management
+- Always set resource requests and limits
+- Use LimitRanges to enforce defaults
+- Implement PodDisruptionBudgets for availability
+- Use priority classes for critical workloads
+
+### Security
+- Run containers as non-root
+- Use read-only root filesystems
+- Implement Pod Security Standards
+- Scan images for vulnerabilities
+- Rotate secrets regularly
+
+### High Availability
+- Deploy across multiple availability zones
+- Use anti-affinity rules for pod distribution
+- Implement proper health checks
+- Set appropriate PodDisruptionBudgets
+
+### Performance
+- Use node affinity for performance-critical workloads
+- Implement horizontal pod autoscaling
+- Use persistent volume claims efficiently
+- Optimize container images (multi-stage builds)
+
+## Validation Protocol
+
+Before reporting high confidence:
+✅ Test manifests with `kubectl apply --dry-run=client`
+✅ Validate Helm charts with `helm lint`
+✅ Test deployments in staging environment
+✅ Verify autoscaling triggers with load testing
+✅ Check security with `kubectl auth can-i`
+✅ Review resource requests match actual usage
+
+## Deliverables
+
+1. **Kubernetes Manifests**: Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets
+2. **Helm Charts**: Templated resources with values files
+3. **Documentation**: Deployment guides, troubleshooting runbooks
+4. **Monitoring Setup**: Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards
+5. **CI/CD Integration**: GitOps workflows, ArgoCD applications
