I'm a junior DevOps engineer tasked with containerizing our company's legacy monolithic application and deploying it on Kubernetes. I've got the Docker images built, but I'm struggling with designing the Kubernetes manifests, specifically around configuring persistent storage for the database and setting up proper liveness and readiness probes for the web service. Are there any best practices or common patterns for structuring these YAML files, and what are the most critical security considerations, like managing secrets and network policies, that I should implement from the start in a production environment?
