The task
Task
The Pod for the Deployment named nosql in the prepium-db namespace fails to start because its Container's memory configuration violates the namespace's memory constraint.
The namespace prepium-db has a LimitRange that sets a maximum memory constraint per Container.
Update the nosql Deployment so that the Container:
- requests
128Miof memory - limits the memory to half the maximum memory constraint set for the
prepium-dbnamespace
After your change, the Pod must start successfully.
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
The public description lets you study the task before signing up. Full access includes this live lab; the selected Task of the Week is free with an account. 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). You can open the solution while practising, then retry and use the failed checks to improve your score.
