Docker Compose uses YAML files ( docker-compose.yml ) to configure application services, networks, and persistent volumes.
A Pod represents a single instance of a running process in your cluster, encapsulating one or more tightly coupled containers, storage resources, and an IP.
Multi-stage builds allow you to use intermediate images for compiling binaries and then copy only the finalized artifact into a slim production base image (e.g. alpine).

Prometheus acts as the time-series metric collector and alerting engine, while Grafana provides rich visualization dashboards.
A LoadBalancer service type automatically provisions an external cloud load balancer (e.g. AWS ALB/NLB) and routes public traffic to the backend Pods.
Docker executes Dockerfile commands sequentially and checks its build cache; if a layer changes (e.g. COPY . ), all following layers must be rebuilt .
