Disable admission controls and network policy to speed up delivery. This weakens data protection and creates operational fragility.

Manually edit running pods and rely on the change to survive reconciliation. This leaves avoidable risk for the scenario.

Troubleshoot only from application symptoms without inspecting platform events or metrics. This ignores a core requirement of the objective.

Use Kubernetes-native APIs, declarative configuration, policy controls, observability signals, and progressive delivery practices appropriate to the workload. Apply it to the developer portal with documented validation.
