Lab: Using `kubectl-ai --mcp-server` with Cursor to Inspect the `atharva-ml` Namespace

0. Lab Goals

By the end of this lab you’ll be able to:

Run kubectl-ai as an MCP server.
Wire it into Cursor via mcp.json.
Use Cursor chat + kubectl-ai tools to:

Following is a crisp, battle-tested playbook for running databases on Kubernetes—what to do, what to avoid, and how to keep them safe, fast, and recoverable.

Before you start

Default to managed DBs if possible (RDS/Aurora/Cloud SQL/AlloyDB/Atlas). Run on K8s only when you need: portability, custom extensions, tight sidecar/tooling, or cost control with commodity nodes.
Use an Operator, not raw manifests. Prefer mature operators (e.g., Crunchy/Percona for Postgres & MySQL, Vitess for MySQL sharding, PXC/MongoDB Enterprise/StackGres, RabbitMQ Operator for queues). Operators give sane HA, backups, upgrades, and day-2 ops.

Core architecture

StatefulSets + Headless Services for stable identities and volumes.

switch to instavote namespace

kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=instavote

helm uninstall -n dev instavote 
kubectl delete deploy vote redis db result worker  -n instavote 
kubectl delete svc vote redis db result -n instavote
