01

Restore payments-api availability by fixing the CrashLoopBackOff and ImagePullBackOff: inspect pod logs/events, correct the image reference or registry access, and roll back to the last known-good Deployment revision if needed.

02

Relieve cluster and node pressure in the payments namespace: address aks-system-000001 MemoryPressure, add capacity or scale out the AKS node pool, and set realistic resource requests/limits so pods can schedule reliably.

03

Harden the externally exposed payments workload and namespace: confirm the LoadBalancer exposure is required, add default-deny NetworkPolicies, move payments-api off the default service account with token automount, and enable probes, seccomp, and a read-only root filesystem.

▼
  • The payments namespace in AKS shows multiple active availability problems: node MemoryPressure, repeated FailedScheduling events, and a CrashLoopBackOff workload.
  • There is external exposure in the namespace via a public LoadBalancer Service and no NetworkPolicy isolation, increasing the attack surface of the payments workload.
  • The payments-api Deployment is missing several baseline workload safeguards: probes, resource requests/limits, seccomp, and a read-only root filesystem.
  • Service account posture is weak for an externally exposed workload because payments-api uses the default service account with automount enabled.
  • Image pull failures and scheduling failures suggest the workload is both unstable and potentially deploying a bad image, so restore service health and then tighten namespace controls.
