The task
Task
Create a Deployment named expose in the existing prepium namespace running 6 replicas of a Pod. Specify a single container using the ifccncf/nginx:1.13.7 image.
Add an environment variable named NGINX_PORT with the value 8001 to the container, then expose port 8001.
What this tests
Roll out and update deployments, run canary and blue-green strategies, and right-size workloads. On the CKAD exam, Application Deployment tasks are graded purely on what you build in the cluster — not multiple choice — so the only way to get faster is to do them on a real cluster against a clock.
Practice it for real
prepium.sh drops you into your own isolated Kubernetes cluster in the browser — no install, no credit card. You solve the task in a real terminal, hit validate, and a programmatic checker scores exactly what you got right and wrong (with partial credit). The canonical solution unlocks after you attempt it, so you learn the fast, exam-ready way to do it.
